"a man" itself is an abstraction/event of e.g. atoms forming molecules
forming cells forming a biological male body; an event of "man-ing".
So, when you see "a man", you are already seeing an event. When "a
man" "runs", it's a combination of events, just like the event of
hydrogen & rubber forming a balloon and the event of the balloon going
up can combine.
