I made him wait. I had no intention of speaking to him while he was in such a foul mood.She didn't want to do it, but he made her do it.We can also use make with a reflexive object, myself, yourself, himself, herself, etc and a past participle, particularly with the verbs understood and heard:

She doesn't speak English very well but she can make herself understood in most situations.There was so much noise at the party that I had to shout all the time to make myself heard.We can also use make in the passive voice, but in this case to before the infinitive is needed:

He had done so badly that he was made to repeat the school year.He had borrowed over five hundred pounds and was made to pay it back in monthly installments. let + object + infinitiveLike make, see and hear, let is followed by object + bare infinitive. It cannot be followed by verb-ing:

Let me carry that box of papers for you. It's very heavy.Why don't you let him walk home by himself from school now? He's eleven years old after allLet is also frequently used in the expression let's (let us) to introduce a suggestion. Note that negative sentences with let's can be formed in two possible ways:

Let's finish the video tomorrow, shall we? I'm tired and I want to go to bed. Let's not be late home tonight. It's Monday tomorrow after all.Don't let's get too stressed about this. I know the car is damaged, but it's only a piece of metal.We do not normally use let in the passive voice.

allow / permit + object + infinitiveAllow and permit are the more formal equivalents of let. But they both require to before the infinitive. Permit sounds a bit more formal than allow. Compare the following:

Let me bake the cakes for the party.Allow me / permit me to bake the cakes for the party.I would never let him smoke in the bedroom.I would never allow him / permit him to smoke in the bedroom.Allow and permit are often used in the passive voice. Remember, we cannot use let in these examples:

I wasn't allowed to pay for my meal. Tony insisted on inviting me.Young children should not be allowed / permitted to watch television after nine o' clock.

Let

Subject + let + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to')

'Let' can mean 'allow' or 'give permission':David's mother let him use her car.Our boss let us leave early.We can also use 'let' to mean 'allow' in the sense of 'make something possible':This student card lets you book discount flights.You can buy a pass which lets you visit all the art galleries more cheaply.Let's + infinitive is often used to make a suggestion:Let's go to the cinema tonight.Let's get some coffee.(Although 'let's' is a contraction of 'let us', we don't use 'let us' in this situation). We don't use 'let' in the passive.Make

Subject + make + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to')

'Make' can mean 'force someone to do something that he or she doesn't want to do':His mother made him clean his room.The teacher made us study very hard.It can also be used to mean 'cause someone to do something' (the thing can be good or bad):That film made me cry.My brother often makes me laugh.If we use 'make' in the passive, we use the infinitive with 'to' instead of the bare infinitive:She was made to work on Saturday, even though she hated working at weekends.We can also use subject + make + object + adjective. This means 'cause the object to be the adjective' (the adjective can be good or bad):Her story made me really happy.The traffic jam made us late.Choosing 'let' or 'make'

Remember, we use 'let' when we mean 'allow'. It's usually something the person wants to do:My boss let me leave early (I wanted to leave early, and the boss gave me permission).We use 'make' when we mean 'force' or 'cause'. It's often something the person doesn't want to do:My boss made me stay late (I didn't want to stay, but I had to).When 'make' means 'cause' it can be something good or bad:My brother made me laughLaughing is a good thing, BUT laughing isn't something I wanted to do that my brother gave me permission for. Instead it's something that he caused.

We can only use 'make + object + adjective'. We can't use 'let' in this way.
