   Hi, Anton Shepelev!   
   I read your message from 30.09.2023 00:35   
      
      
   ak>> I'll have Joe fetch a shovel Now all we have to do is get there!   
      
   ak>> If I were they :) I'd write "I'll have Joe _to_ fetch a shovel"   
   ak>> and "Now all we have to do is _to_ get there!"   
      
   AS> Do you entertain similar misgivings about `let', as in "Let me   
   AS> fetch the shovel"; or about "make", as in "I will make you regret   
   AS> it"; or about `have' but with passive voice, e.g. "I will have my   
   AS> hair cut"; or when there is no a verb at all, as in the   
   AS> Huey "piano" Smith song -- "We will have him on the alimony"?   
      
   A verb after "make" is used without "to" -- it is a completely different case   
   and rule. As for "have" you gave wrong examples without verbs after "have".   
      
   < "I will have my hair cut" >   
      
   "Cut" is not a verb.   
      
   Bye, Anton!
