go. Tu ferais mieux d' y aller.

Après les verbes
de perception

I saw him arrive. Je l' ai vu arriver.

FAIRE FAIRE

à John a fait pression sur quelqu' un pour l' obliger à peindre la porte.
On emploie MAKE + (agent accomplissant l' action qui suit) + INFINITIF SANS TO.
John had her paint the door. John lui a fait (lui a demandé de) peindre la porte.
à HAVE n' exprime pas vraiment la pression.
On emploie HAVE + (agent accomplissant l' action qui suit) + INFINITIF SANS TO.
John had
the door painted last year. John a fait peindre la porte l' année dernière.
à On ne nous dit pas qui a peint la porte, l' "agent" n' est pas précisé. On mentionne seulement que la porte a été peinte: sens passif. C' est le résultat qui importe.
On emploie HAVE + ("objet" sur lequel l' action est accomplie) + PARTICIPE PASSE.
