Make it looks nice

Hi,

I heard this mistake: 'I'm going to make [the room] looks nice'

Can anyone explain to me the rule regarding this? I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

Chris.

Hi, [the room] is the object of make , not the subject of look . Similarly you say, I made her do it . You don't say, I made she does it .

AnonymousCan anyone explain to me the rule regarding this?
The verbs let, make, have, and help follow the pattern VERB1 (PRO)NOUN VERB2, where the second verb is in the base form.

Let me carry that for you.
You should make them practice more often.
