if it is 'had made him' shouldn't it be 'gli avesse fatto'? "Gli abbia fatto" should be "has made him"?
I have this very question. It has been here for 8 years and not gotten any discussion at all. Any chance that my post will draw attention? Does anyone know of a way to reference posters who have been helpful in the past, like on social media? (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram all allow this.)
To make someone do something
Fare A + (person) + (infinitive form of a verb)
Indirect pronouns such as gli must be used
The person is an indirect object.
I was wondering the same thing. why is the indirect object "gli" used here rather than the direct object "lo"?
i think 'i am wondering what has made him change his mind' should work also.
"I wonder what could have made him change his mind" was accepted (but "I ask myself what could have made him change his mind" was not-reported).
Generally, without some form of "potere" in the italian sentence, you shouldn't write "could".
I am guessing that the database of correct answers needed updating.
