saw/seen
In standard English, it’s “I’ve seen” not “I’ve saw.” The helping verb “have” (abbreviated here to “’ve”) requires “seen.” Any time you use a helping verb to introduce it, the word you need is “seen”: “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”
In the simple past (no helping verb), the expression is “I saw,” not “I seen.” “I’ve seen a lot of ugly cars, but when I saw that old beat-up Rambler I couldn’t believe my eyes.” Or “I saw the game on TV.”
