The past tense of see is saw, correct? Seen is only used when “have” is present, correct?

For instance:

I saw the movie. I saw someone.


Whenever I hear someone say, “I seen something,” it annoys the hell out of me.

Did I already do this thread, or does this bother me THAT much?

 

[alpo]

I seen this thread before

 

[jdubnyce]

I've saw this thread before

Saw is past tense. Past tense is used independent of other events.

I saw your watch on the nightstand.

Seen is the past participle. Past participles are used to indicate completion of something prior to (or in the sequence of) another event, or prior to the present or future.

I’ve seen your watch on the nightstand before leaving for work.

Speaking and words are about communication, conveying a thought.
