Non-Modal Verbs — Two Verbs Together
Some verbs take an object + to-infinitive: want, ask, tell, expect, need, help, allow, encourage, remind, warn, invite, force, persuade. "She asked me to wait." "They expected him to resign." The structure is: VERB + OBJECT + TO + BASE VERB. With "help", the to is sometimes dropped in informal English: "Can you help me (to) carry this?"
