"See" is a verb, in this instance it means to notice, not to see with the eyes. "See" can also mean to understand, such as "I see what you mean."
"the home of their friends" is the genitive, meaning the friends possess the house.
as Porkar said that the native speakers know more than us which the English is my second language.
maybe it's different from place to place to say I made and I make according to accent and dialogue.
but if you may Pokar or Zoon van Ijs to answer my last participation about this,
Pokar it's noticeable that your English is your mother language but Zoon van Ijs is educated enough .
PS: yesterday my exam The History of Literature and Thought ,it's really very very hard subject . I think it'll go down
" Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur on their
own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed " .
- "the homes of their friends" is in the ....... case
a) dative b) nominative c) genitive d) Norman genitive
-the function of the see is :
a)verb b) infinitive c) complement d)object
here I think it's verb , but most of my friends said , it's complement and that's totally wrong.
because the complement must be SUBJECT or OBJECT.
Example: I am answering the question...
..
. at least giving another possible use of simple present other than the ones I've stated, ..
It's the Norman genitive. The genitive case would be like "their friends' home". ..
"See" is a verb of course, but it's in the infinitive form.
That's the present continuous.Example: I am answering the question.
You can say that..."Sorry, I tend to be a language purist most of the time!"
Another word for that is 'pedantic'.
The site you referenced is interesting, here's what it says:Here is a useful site: .linguapress.com
"making a decision" as stated in our sentence is neither a permanent state, nor a permanent truth, not even a repetitive action and much less an instant action (like "kick", "shoot", "slam", etc...).In short, the Present Simple is used to express:
a) permanent states and permanent truths.
b) repetitive actions
c) instant actions.
Examples:
a1) I like apples, but I don't like oranges.
a2) I live in London, and I work for a big bank.
a3) Flowers grow well in a warm sunny climate.
a4) Tomorrow never comes
b1) My brother often goes to London.
b2) It snows in winter in New York.
b3) I get up at 6 every morning.
c1) Oh, I understand what you mean.
c2) And now Owen gets the ball, he shoots, and he scores!
Yups, I didn't even know the term "Norman genitive" until I saw it here. But since it was suggested and it's a more accurate answer than "genitive", then it's the best answer.Most people don't bother with Norman or Saxon genitive distinction, mainly because most people don't even bother discussing them; they are not really important in general English usage.
Both "see" and "to see" are considered infinitive. The first one is called "bare infinitive", the other one "full infinitive". The choice merely depends on the verb which introduces the sentence (which could be a model verb):The infinitive of 'see' is 'to see'.
"The infinitive form of the verb is a compound verb made up of the the preposition "to" and the basic form of the verb:
to walk, to paint, to think, to grow, to sing" (from 'en.allexperts.com' - General writing and grammar help).
It's the Norman genitive. The genitive case would be like "their friends' home". (Someone explained that already in the first page)

here in this care I think it's not infinitive , it's verb as we have the options
calm down man , but every country has own accent maybe in your country say I make but others say I made, but the problem which of them the lecturer will choose. Maybe she'll choose a option that we won't expect .Where I live I reckon 99% of the native English speakers would say "make a decision" - the other 1% is probably not informed enough to make one.

Australian English has a lot of differences between American and British accent even among the words.
That's right.You say "make" if it is in present tense or "made" if it is in past tense.
I'm not sure why you said "calm down" but I reckon I should know what people in my own country understand.
You say "make" if it is in present tense or "made" if it is in past tense. I would say 99% of all native English speakers would understand that.
btw, this has nothing to do with accent. Accent is a particular way you speak, not how you write or phrase sentences.
that's obviously make in present and made in past, but here I think that "made a decision" is the right way to say , it expresses in the past but you can say it in the present.You say "make" if it is in present tense or "made" if it is in past tense.

today after finishing my poetry exam , I went to my teacher and I told him about the verb SEE .
he told me that the answer is c) complement , I was really shocked .he told me that the verb let in "let the adolescents see" is transitive and it needs object , we consider the verb see as clause or as I understood him we consider the clause adolescents see that they are annoyedlike clause and it's object for the transitive verb let . does that make any sense ?
Can I ask a some question please?
What is your reason for learning English?

It's the same in Arabic,English is very similar with Arabic.'see' does not necessarily mean to observe with the eyes, but also to understand something. e.g. "I see what you mean."
