MAKE and
LET
In
English, the verbs "make" and "let" are followed by an
object and the infinitive without "to":

She made him do the exercise again.
She
lets the students sing in class.

Be
careful:
in the passive, "make" is followed by the infinitive with
"to":
They
were made to do
the exercise again.
"Have"
can also be used in this pattern:
Please
have your secretary call me as soon as possible.
(Please
ask your secretary to call me…)

"to":
