Usage of "Would you mind"

[Biber]

Is it GRAMMATICALLY true to say

"Would you mind letting me to go home?"

You're terribly sick and you're saying this to your boss.)

[HerGuardian]

Would you mind letting me go home?

without TO

i think it's all right

[Biber]

thank you

[Alan]

Hi,

In this construction, HerGuardian is clearly right in saying that 'to' is not needed. It's worth noting that if you want to use 'allow', you would need the preposition. In that case you would say:

Would you mind letting me go home

but

Would you mind allowing me to go home.
