VERB + BASE FORM with subject
Sound symbols

While the number of characteristic verbs in this pattern is severely limited, the pattern occurs often enough to be quite important. The student must especially avoid confusing it with Pattern 9 (verb +infinitive) just discussed.

The most important verbs in Pattern 10 are have, make, and let. (See also Chapter 19.)

He had the children sing the song again.

I made the visitor wait.

They let us examine the documents.

The verb help is exceptional in that it belongs to Pattern 9 as well as Pattern 10. There is no difference in meaning.

They helped us to find a place to stay.

They helped us find a place to stay.

When make is used in the passive voice, it is followed by the infinitive and becomes like the verbs in Pattern 9.

We were made to wait an hour.

They were allowed (forced, asked, ordered, etc.) to enter.

For verbs of sensory perception, see Pattern 12.
