It would be "saw him frown". The other one would be correct if you say "saw he frowned" or "saw that he frowned".

In the context you've given, "saw him frown" is correct. Such as "I saw him frown." However, if there's a punctuation missing there, then ...
"I saw him, frowned, and then hit him with a stick." is also correct (even if hitting people with sticks is incorrect).
Which is correct grammar - do you put his or him before a verb?

Where did "should of" come from? How can anybody confuse "have" and "of"? They don't even have any letters in common.

You're reading Is it proper to say "saw him frown"? Or is it "saw him frowned"?
