Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 05.10.2023 20:17

 AK>> "I will have my hair cut" >
 AK>> "Cut" is not a verb.

 AS> I am sure it is:
 AS> I will have him repair my car. (1)

"Repair" is a verb, and you use the direct object here. And therefore you had to use "to" before the verb. Another example:

"He asked me to wait a little".

 AS> I will have my car repaired.  (2)

 AS> `repair' is certainly a verb in both cases. You may call it a past
 AS> participal in the second instance,

And indeed is is a past particiPLE. ;)

 AS>because it partakes of the verb, or, is partially a verb.

 I don't understand your logic here.

 AS> Analyse the present-tense example, if you
 AS> like it more: "I will have her cut my hair," where `cut' is a verb
 AS> beyond the faintest shadow of a doubt.

What does Dallas think about your "beyond faintest shadow of a doubt"?

Bye, Anton!
