Why disappear and not disappeared?
Why disappear and not disappeared?
In 'Home Alone' Kevin said 'I made my family disappear'. And I'm very curious why he didn't say 'disappearED' I mean in the simple past form?
Would this be also correct in every other sentence like this?

Because most of the times you don't use to past verbs together, so he already say "made" so you know it's in the past and don't say made disappeared instead made disappear
