Grammar: Verb Pattern (Part 2)

This blog is a short one because I am going to share with you about verbs followed by infinitive without "to". The verbs are let and make.

Let and make are followed by an infinitive without to in active voice sentences. They always have an object before the infinitive. 

Examples:

1) Do not let Alice go. (Alice = object; go = infinitive)

2) The staff made his client wait while he checked the documents. (his client = object; wait = infinitive) 

Help is another verb that is followed by infinitive without "to", but it is fine to use it with to-infinitive. 

Examples:

1) Please help me find my dog.

2) Please help me to find my dog.
