(1)              "Repair" is a verb, and you use the direct object here. And therefore you had       to use "to" before the verb. Another example:              "He asked me to wait a little".               AS> I will have my car repaired. (2)               AS> `repair' is certainly a verb in both cases. You may call it a past        AS> participal in the second instance,              And indeed is is a past particiPLE. ;)               AS>because it partakes of the verb, or, is partially a verb.               I don't understand your logic here.               AS> Analyse the present-tense example, if you        AS> like it more: "I will have her cut my hair," where `cut' is a verb        AS> beyond the faintest shadow of a doubt.              What does Dallas think about your "beyond faintest shadow of a doubt"?              Bye, Anton!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2023              ---         * Origin: nntp://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215 700 720 840 850       SEEN-BY: 218/860 870 880 930 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113       SEEN-BY: 229/206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 301/1 113 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 460/58 712/848 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 221/6 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
