Let + infinitive without to #2 (permalink) Fri Dec 09, 2005 9:25 am   Let + infinitive without to
 

As a rule we always use infinitive without to after the verb LET.

Consider the following examples:

It is correct to say:
Sarah let her child go out alone.
Let me do the job myself!
Let's go for a walk!

It is wrong to say:
Sarah let her child to go out alone.
Let me to do the job myself!
Let's to go for a walk!

Success! :)
