After the verbs make, have, and let, an infinitive loses its 'to'.

make them leave, have him wait, let us go

Thank you for your answers. I googled both "I cannot make the boss to wait," or "I cannot make the boss wait," but the grammar generators I used didn't find anything wrong with "I cannot make the boss to wait." Can someone please explain why? Thank you in advance.
