Hi, Anton Shepelev!
I read your message from 30.09.2023 00:35


ak>> I'll have Joe fetch a shovel Now all we have to do is get there!

ak>> If I were they :) I'd write "I'll have Joe _to_ fetch a shovel"
ak>> and "Now all we have to do is _to_ get there!"

AS> Do you entertain similar misgivings about `let', as in "Let me
AS> fetch the shovel"; or about "make", as in "I will make you regret
AS> it"; or about `have' but with passive voice, e.g. "I will have my
AS> hair cut"; or when there is no a verb at all, as in the
AS> Huey "piano" Smith song -- "We will have him on the alimony"?

A verb after "make" is used without "to" -- it is a completely different case
and rule. As for "have" you gave wrong examples without verbs after "have".

< "I will have my hair cut" >

"Cut" is not a verb.

Bye, Anton!
