§Grammar and usage
In causative structures with a person as object, have and make take the base form (have him repair it, make him repair it), while get takes to (get him to repair it).
जब causative structure का object कोई व्यक्ति हो, तब have और make के बाद base form आता है (have him repair it, make him repair it), जबकि get के बाद to आता है (get him to repair it)।
