verb
1. It makes me change Or it make me to change? I am always confused about the verb "make" following verb, is it Make+verb or make+to+verb?
2. He had, however, speculated largely and quite loosely; had involved himself deeply, and his notes to a large amount had come into the hands of Haley. Can I change come into to gone into? What determines if it's "come" or "gone"?
3. The president has designated Senator Frank as one of the Congressmen who are going to attend the conference on nuclear waste disposal. No error.
Is it “is going to” or “are going to”. Does the verb refer to “congressmen” or Senator?

MIA61. It makes me change Or it make me to change? I am always confused about the verb "make" following verb, is it Make+verb or make+to+verb? >> the debate made me change my opinion. (do not use "to+verb" after "make". I think it has been used a long time ago, so you will find "make to+verb" in old literature. But it is archaic

1. make, let, have, and help are the verbs that govern a bare infinitive (no "to") after an object. Of these, only help can also be used with the full infinitive (with "to"). The verbs of perception, chiefly see and hear, have the same property.
Make him listen; Let him go; Have him come in; Help him write it; (Help him to write it;) I saw him leave; I
Make him listen; Let him go; Have him come in; Help him write it; (Help him to write it;) I saw him leave; I

Is it “is going to” or “are going to”. Does the verb refer to “congressmen” or Senator? >> congressmen

AlpheccaStars Do you think it is wrong? Why?If the verb here refers to Congressmen, then I don't think there is any error in the sentence. You think??

I agree. Congressmen is plural, and the verb is also plural.
