1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: Directing Others

Verbs like want, ask, tell, advice, expect, warn, teach, invite take an object before the infinitive (verb + object + to-infinitive).

👥 Verb + Person + TO do
“I want you to be happy.” (NOT I want that you are).
“The doctor told me to rest.”
⚡ MAKE & LET (Bare Infinitive)
“The film made me cry.” (NOT made me to cry).
“Let me carry your bag.”

2 Tier 2 – Passive of MAKE (was made TO do)

Active: make sb DO Bare infinitive: “They made us wait.”
Passive: be made TO DO Requires to: “We were made to wait.”

3 Tier 3 – Top 3 Common Learner Pitfalls

I want that you come to my party.
I want you to come to my party.

Rule: Want cannot be followed by a that-clause in English; use want someone to do.

My parents let me to stay out late.
My parents let me stay out late.

Rule: Let is followed by bare infinitive without to.

She made me to laugh.
She made me laugh.

Rule: Active make takes bare infinitive without to.
