When we have two verbs together in a sentence, the form of the second verb is influenced by the first verb.
This table shows which verbs require the second verb to take the form of the bare infinitive (infinitive without to).

The bare infinitive (an infinitive without 'to') is used after certain verbs which are followed by an object: let, make, see, hear, feel. |
My parents didn't let me watch TV at night. |

The bare infinitive is used after modal verbs: can, should, could, might, may, etc. |
