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

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

What does Dallas think about your "beyond faintest shadow of a doubt"?
Bye, Anton!
