Bare infinitive and gerund participle


I saw him kick the stone.




According to my reference book this sentence is grammatically correct even though the verb 'kick' is in present tense while the action has already happened.



If I write like this:





I saw him kicked the stone.




Is this sentence still grammatically correct? Or we must use kick in present tense since the verb saw already clarifies that this is a past action? Or are both right?
