    Verb (+object) + infinitive; make and let

    1. Verb (+object) + infinitive with to


    With some werbs, it is possible to put an object between the verb and
    the infinitive.
    ask beg dare expect help intend mean need
    require want wish would like / love / hate / prefer
    Verb + infinitive + to Verb + object + infinitive
    with to
    Sami wants her son to find Sami wants her son/him to find
    another job. another job.
    I didn’t intend to spend so much She didn’t intend Lara/her to
    money. spend so much money.
     For there verbs, we don’t use the that clause after them.
    Ex: × We begged Antonia that she didn’t go out alone.
    → We begged Antonia not to go out alone.
     We can use the infinitive with or without to after help.
    → I’ll help you carry those bags. / I’ll help you to carry
    those bags.

    2. Verb + object + infinitive with to


    With other verbs, it is CRUCIAL to put an object between the verb
    and the infinitive.
    advise allow cause encourage forbid force invite permit
    persuade recommend remind teach tell order warn
    Verb + object + infinitive + to
    Mrs Grant is teaching Justin to play the piano.
    We always encourage the students to plan their revision.
    Can you remind me to set the alarm at 6.30 when we go to bed?
     To make the infinitive verb NEGATIVE we put not BEFORE to.
    → The police persuaded the gunman not to shoot.
     Some verbs (advise, allow, forbid, permit, recommend) can also
    be followed by an -ing form as an object.
    → The manager does not allow staff to smoke. / The manager
    does not allow smoking.
    → We recommend students to use a good dictionary. / We
    recommend students using a good dictionary.

    3. Make and let


    The verbs make and let always have an object, and are followed by the
    infinitive without to:
    Make/Let + object + infinity
    Mrs Grant makes Justin practise everyday. (= forces him to)
    Our managers let us work from home once or twice a week. (=
    allows us to)
    The soldiers made the prisoners walk 50 kilometres.

     For passive form, we use to before the infinitive. For let, we use
    allowed to:
    Ex: The prisoners were made to walk 50 kilometres before they
    were allowed to sleep.
    × … they weren’t let to sleep. →… they were alowed to sleep.
