Questions & Answers about Voglio tutto perfetto, quindi lo faccio fare all'organizzatore.
Why are there two forms of fare right next to each other (faccio fare)?
This is the causative construction you are learning. The conjugated faccio acts as a helper meaning 'I have someone do something' or 'I make someone do something'. The infinitive fare is the actual action being done, meaning 'to do'. Together, faccio fare means 'I have [someone] do [something].'
Why is the planner introduced with all' (to the) instead of just l'?
In a causative sentence, if the infinitive verb has a direct object, the person doing the action must be introduced by the preposition a (to). Here, the direct object is lo (it), so the planner becomes the indirect object: a + l'organizzatore = all'organizzatore.
Why does the pronoun lo go before faccio instead of attaching to the infinitive fare?
When using the causative construction, object pronouns like lo must go before the conjugated verb (faccio). You cannot attach them to the end of the infinitive here, even though you can with other helping verbs like volere or potere.
Why doesn't the first part say Voglio che tutto sia perfetto (I want that everything be perfect)?
