Example sentences using "Hear"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with I heard her/ him say.
A:
Ah, I guess I caused a little confusion here, my bad!
- "I heard her say" Means that you, personally, heard her talking.
This is right. It means that you did hear the person say this, but it suggests that when they said it they weren't talking to you. If they were talking to you, you wouldn't say "I heard her say ~," but "She told me ~" instead.
- "I heard that she said" usually means that somebody else heard her, and then told you.
This is kind of correct. In other words, if I told you "I heard her say that she's planning on moving to London.", you could then say "I heard that she said that she's planning on moving to London."
However, you can't say "I heard her say that she's planning on moving to London." as you yourself did not hear her say this.
- "I heard her say something" = You were there when she said something and you heard it. This is what I was saying in my first answer. You heard her say something, but it wasn't necessarily said to you.
I hope this clears it up a bit. If not, do let me know!

Q:
Please show me example sentences with I hear you.
A:
"I hear you" is going to be one of those phrases that can go beyond it's literal interpretation of the words to be "I hear the sounds you are making."
Starting with the easy one, to quote a popular commercial, the literal interpretation.
Q. "Hey can you hear me?"
A "Yes, I hear you."
The second way and more popular way is in a way of confirming that you understand something someone is saying to you. The context of the situation will heavily imply whether or not the person is being sincere with you. One way to think of it as though someone is saying "I see what you mean".

Situation 2: Employee is in meeting with other coworkers and boss. Boss acknowledges situation and provides no other words. Context makes it seem sincere and sympathetic.
Employee: "Jim is a bad employee! He hurts our team's performance"
Employee2: "He never takes any calls."
