This great construction, both using let and make.
这座宏伟的建筑既运用了“let”（允许、让）的逻辑，也运用了“make”（创造、制造）的逻辑。
And learning this construction is going to help improve your English, and you're going to be able to.
学习这种语法结构将有助于提高你的英语水平，让你能够更自如地使用英语表达自己的想法。
Understand native speakers better because we use this construction all the time.
因为我们经常使用这种表达方式，所以能更好地理解以这种语言为母语的人的意思。
And the grammar part of this is let or make plus the object plus the base verb.
在语法结构上，这个表达由 “let” 或 “make” 加宾语，再加上动词的原形（即不加时态变化的动词形式）组成。
Now, like normal, if grammar confuses you, don't worry because you can internalize these through sentences.
现在，和平时一样，如果语法让你感到困惑，别担心——因为你可以通过大量的句子来逐渐掌握这些语法规则。
So if you said, "I let my employee go home," it means that you allow or give permission to someone to do something.
因此，如果你说“我让我的员工回家了”，这意味着你允许或批准某人去做某件事。
So you give permission to that employee to go home.
那么，你就允许那位员工回家了。
You allow them to go home.
你允许他们回家。
If I made my employee stay, this means that you require someone to do something they might not choose otherwise.
如果我强迫我的员工留下来，那就意味着你要求他们去做一些他们可能不愿意做的事情。
So to let object base verb or make object base verb.
那么，如何将动词变为以对象为中心（即以对象为动作的接受者）的动词呢？
Let's now look at some.
