Causative Verbs
- The Teacher made Alex leave the room.
- Megan got Marvin typed by a mechanic.
- We got our house painted last week.
- Dylan got his transcripts sent to the university.
- Selena is getting her hair to cut tomorrow.
Reasoning behind those answers:
Causative verbs are used when one thing or person causes another thing or person to do something. It means when we don't do something ourselves, instead we need someone else to do something for us.
There are two basic causative structures:
1. Active Causative form
2. Passive Causative Form
1. Active Causative (Subject cause the object to do something)
- Subject + (have - had / make - made / let / help) + Object (person / people) + Verb 1
- Subject + (ask / get - got / allow) + Object (person / people) + 1 to + Verb
2. Causative Passive (Subject wanted object resolved by someone)
- Subject + (have - had / get - got) + Object (thing / object) + Verb 3
