   Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 05.10.2023 20:17   
      
    AK>> "I will have my hair cut" >   
    AK>> "Cut" is not a verb.   
      
    AS> I am sure it is:   
    AS> I will have him repair my car. (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!
