I see dead people [closed]

Solution 1:

Sorry, I may have missed the basis of your question, but I'll try and clarify it as much as possible for you. Well, grammar-wise it's perfectly okay. "I see dead people" is a sentence in the present tense, so it seems to fit. You're right that most people would not say, "I am seeing dead people" but that's grammatically correct as well. About "What do you see?" and "What are you seeing?", both of them are used in variable contexts. If the person sees something momentarily, or has just seen something, you would use the first question. If the person has been looking at something for a while, then you would use the second, but personally I would not use the verb 'see' there - it just feels out of place. To return to the topic, the quote is grammatically valid, even though it's logically messed up, because "How do you see dead people?" I hope that clears your doubts, and please tell me if I completely missed the point of your question.
