interrupt or interrupts

[# 1]

Hi there,

I've seen this sentence in an insurance paper and I want to know if it is correct.

The sentence:
"Do not let anything unforeseen interrupt your driving."

I wonder if it is right to say:
"Do not let anything unforeseen interrupts your driving."

Shall we use the base form of the verb or add (-s) to it?

Only interrupt is correct.

It's the bare infinitive (the infinitive without to) used after let and means

"Do not allow anything unforeseen to interrupt your driving."

The first one is fine. We use:
let somebody do something- not does.

You are right, Dawood, but please state that you are not a teacher.

Thanks my dear teacher, but my profile already tells about me. Doesn't it?

I would like to say one thing, dear sir, that it was my humbleness that I didn't set my member type as English Teacher even though I have been teaching English for more than six years. I didn't set my member type because , to me , I'm totally nothing among you learned and experienced people.
Please accept my apologies.
