Let and make

Both these verbs are followed by the infinitive without to.

Let is used to express permission. My dad never lets me watch this movie.


Let is not normally used in the passive. Be allowed to is used instead. I wasn't allowed to go to the party alone.

Make is used to express obligation. The teacher made her do some extra homework.

In the passive, make is followed by the infinitive with to. He was made to pay for the window he had broken.
