Hi All,
I am confused with the usage of causative verbs, when I should use "to" before the verb and not use "to"
Below examples are from Ultimate gmat grammar book exercise (pg 118)
1. We should help Jennifer "study" for her final exams --- Correct
I thought
We should help Jennifer "to study" for her final exams
2.
Ralph is getting Julia "to write" his essay ---Correct
I thought
Ralph is getting Julia "write" his essay ---
Where am I going wrong,
Is there a document/link which explains more about this.
Thanks,
Ravi

Both are correct actually. You can say "help to + verb" or "help + verb"
Quote:
Hm... I am wondering if you are confusing "get" and "have"
You have to have a "to" after "get" Ralph got Julia to write his essay.
But not really after "have" - Ralph had Julia write his essay (though I am not sure if this is proper/correct English - that's how spoken is)

I think I get what you mean and thinking about it now I was confusing between get and have.
Still would appreciate if you could point me any link for more info related to my questions.
