Just like we say that "Let's see him play", we can say "I see him come". So why is "coming" form correct here ???

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Some part of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error and select corresponding to the appropriate letter (A), (B), (C). (D)
I am seeing Pankaj coming. 
Options:
A) I 
B) Pankaj coming 
C) No error 
D) am seeing 
Solution:
Ans: (d) Replace ‘am seeing’ by ‘can see’. ‘See, Hear, Feel, Small, Taste' -  when these verbs refer to perception, we do not normally use progressive forms. To talk about seeing, hearing etc at a particular moment, we often use can see, can hear etc.

Ex. Can you hear somebody coming up the stairs? 

NOT 'Are you hearing somebody coming up the stairs?'
