Hi Palcomster!

Let, and make are called causative verbs because they cause something else to happen. But the using of them is not really specific, so we must understand more to apply in a sentence. Here are some examples of how causative verbs

LET = permit something to happen

  • Let+person/noun +verb (base form)

Examples:

  • I don’t let my friends come to the class.
  • Please don’t let the dog come inside.

Note:

  • The past tense of let is let, no change
  • The verbs allow and permit is more formal ways to say “let.” And we apply them by using to + verb, examples;
  • I don’t allow somebody to see my files.
  • My mom permits us to go out in the night.

MAKE = force or require someone to take an action

  • make + person + verb (base form)

Examples:

  • I make you all stand by here
