一九八〇年高考英语试题第Ⅶ.2题：
That sentence was so hard to understand that I had to have my teacher to explain it for me. 标准答案要求去掉 explain 前的不定式符号 to。难道保留 to 就一定是错误的吗？
一般的教科书和词典给出的句型确实是 have sb. do sth.。Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 还特别说明, have "used with the infinitive without to"。R. Quirk 等人也指出, have 用作使役动词时, 后面接不带 to 的不定式: Did they have you paint the house? (CGEL) (他们叫你油漆房子了吗?) 但是有些英语学者却认为也可以带 to。例如, E. Kruisinga 就举过几个带 to 的例句:
What, I'll have you to know... (A Handbook of Present English, Part 11, p. 386)
И·Р·Пальперина 教授主编的《英俄大辞典》也认为可以带 to [have sb. (to) do sth.]: Will you have me to help you?
下面再援引几个例句：
-
Now, having achieved so capital a marriage, Caroline, worthy creature, was anxious that her sisters should not be less happy, and would have them to visit her in spite of her husband's protests. (E. Kruisinga, p. 386)
-
I will have someone to translate the story for me. (葛传槨:《英语惯用法辞典》,时代出版社,1962年)
-
Mr Rochester would have me to come in. (Jane Eyre) 罗切斯特先生想让我进去。
-
If I had my life to live over, I would talk less and listen more. [Erma Bombeck——美国幽默作家(1927-1996)]
下面的试题犯了同样的毛病(有两个正确的选项):
-

-
