She lets him (to) paint. = She allows him to paint.
Here, red 'to' is incorrect, and 2nd 'to' is correct. Am I right Mister Micawber?

Hi Mister Micawber,
Please don't misunderstand me. My link was intended to "Phxsunstoon". Yes, I have made a mistake is that, I did't refer "Phxsunstoon's name". Sorry Mister Micawber.
