Hello, my friends, is me again. This time I would like to clarify a sentence, seeing it is grammatically right.
[I would like to see you DO better] (1)
Here, I capatalize DO because I am wandering it is correct to use [DO] in lieu of [TO do]. ie
[I would like to see you TO DO better] (2)
Can anyone tell me which sentence (1) or (2) is correct and why?
Thanks in advance
From a guy who really loves English grammar.
I would like to see you DO better?

1.try replacing DO with another word, I would like to see you play better, I would like to see you work harder, etc. there is no TO required.

Sentence 1 is right. We are not using "to" as the main verb is "see" and also there is presence of the other verb "would like". With "to" sentence will be: I want you TO do better. Not a very technical answer but it should help.

first is correct. TO in the second sentence suggests that you seeing the person will cause he/she to do better; which is obviously not what you are trying to portray.

I would like to see you DO better.
I can't tell you why. It just is.
