Sensory Verbs are often followed with the -ing form or base form of another verb:
---
see: I saw him drive away. I saw him driving.
watch: I watched him walk home.
hear: I hear my friends talking outside. I heard the door open.
feel: I felt the cat walk across the bed. You can feel the champagne bubbles popping.
smell: I smell some food cooking. I smelled something burning. (probably not with base form)
taste: I can taste this getting hotter.

Verbs of “interception” or discovery are almost always with -ing forms:
They caught the thief trying to break into the house.
I discovered my brother using my TV.
