    Make/Let/ Be allowed to

    Make
    The verb 'make' has several meanings in English. Eg: Helen says 'I can't make people call', she means that she cannot force people to call; she does not have the power to control or change the situation. When 'make' means 'force' or 'control', in the active form, it is followed by an object and the bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to'). subject make I object infinitive without 'to' call.

    (can't) make people

    Be careful: in the active form, 'make' is NOT followed by 'to', and it is NOT followed by an -ing form: The teacher made us to do our homework - WRONG The teacher made us doing our homework - WRONG The teacher made us do our homework RIGHT

    Let
    If you 'let' somebody do something, you give permission or you allow them to do something. Helen says 'if you want him to move in, you'll have to let him have a discount.' When 'let' means 'allow' or 'give permission', it is followed by an object and the bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to'). subject You let ('ll have to) let object him infinitive without 'to' have complement a discount.

    Be careful: 'let' is NOT followed by 'to', and it is NOT followed by an -ing form: The teacher let us to leave early - WRONG The teacher let us leaving early - WRONG The teacher let us leave early RIGHT

    Allow
    Allow has a similar meaning to 'let'. Eg: Helen's dad says 'Helen, you are not allowed to go out, he means that he can't give permission. Passive voice: subject You verb be are not allowed allowed infinitive with 'to' to smoke.
