Verb + Infinitive without to			Equivalents
Make		I made him do his homework, (заставлять, принуждать)	- force
have. .		Jane has her son clean his room on Sundays. (велеть, поручать) We had them postpone the discussion, (добиться) I won't have you say such things in my presence, (позволять, допускать)	-tell, order, instruct - persuade -won't allow/ let
Verb + Infinitive with to			Equivalents

e.g. I made him do this.

But: He was made to do this.
