<br><<could contributors give me a bit more feedback on distribution of "to"
<br>deletion in other places>>
<br>
<br>In some other constructions it is variable, e.g.,
<br>
<br>"I will help you find the answer" and "I will help you to find thel answer"
<br>
<br>"I will have him call you" and "I will have him to call you" (Causative)
<br>He had his dog die" and "He had his dog to die" (Existential)
<br>
<br>However, most folks outside the US South have obligatory TO-deletion with
<br>HAVE, at least when HAVE is used in the causative sense.
