I was working on the pronouns tonight (adding direct object pronouns) and
as i was providing a sample sentence, i came across something I really
didnt know how to handle. I did end up doing something, and here is the
result:

 He can watch you play. - El beral birar to dezar.
(Lit: He_ is able_ to watch_ you_ to play)

The problem was, i didn't know if i should conjugate 'play' or just leave
it as an infinitve. In my mind i feel leaving it as the infinitive is
right. I am having touble articulating this, so I am not sure if all this
is clear or not.  But how would you all handle that short sentence?
