   AS>> I will have him repair my car. (1)   
   AK>   
   AK> "Repair" is a verb, and you use the direct object here.   
   AK> And therefore you had to use "to" before the verb.   
      
   No, I hand't.  This usage needs the bare infinitive.   
      
   AK> "He asked me to wait a little".   
      
   You ask someome to do something, but you have someone do it.   
   There is a qulitative difference between /ask/ and /have/.   
      
   AS>> You may call it a past participal in the second   
   AS>> instance, because it partakes of the verb, or, is   
   AS>> partially a verb.   
   AK>   
   AK> I don't understand your logic here.   
      
   Have you wondered why it is called participle?  What   
   definition of participle do you use?  Here is the one I use,   
   by Goold Brown --   
      
      A Participle is a word derived from a verb,   
      participating the properties of a verb, and of an   
      adjective or a noun; and is generally formed by adding   
      /ing/, /d/, or /ed/, to the verb: thus, from the verb   
      rule, are formed three participles, two simple and one   
      compound; as, 1. /ruling/, 2. /ruled/, 3. /having   
      ruled/.
