Grammar check please?
Hi,
Could you confirm to me that I am correct in this pattern/grammar, please?
I will let you do / repair it. (After "let, make, help" always plain form)
Cheers

You are correct, but both the bare and the to-infinitive forms can be used for 'help': I will help you (to) repair it. Native speakers normally omit the 'to' in speech, so we can say the to-infinitive is more formal.
