Basic English Grammar | Causative verb make help have get let | English spoken class | Badsha Shawon The causatives are the verbs that are used to indicate that one person causes another person to do something for the first person. One can cause somebody to do something for him/her by asking, paying, requesting, or forcing the person. Rule 1: Subject + have (any tense) + doer(usually person) + base form of verb + . . . . Subject + have (any tense) + receiver(usually thing) + past participle form of verb + . . . . example: Afrin had Tasin clean the bedroom. Ekram will have Fatema prepare her homework. Rule 2 : Subject + get (any tense) + doer(usually person) + infinitive + . . . . subject + have (any tense) + receiver(usually thing) + past participle form of verb + . . . . example: John got Alex to clean the bedroom. He always gets me to do his work. Rule 3 : ‘Make’ is stronger than ‘have/get’. It constitutes only one structure as it does not take anything ‘passive’ as its object. Subject + make (any tense) + object (always person) + base form of verb + . . . Help is not actually a causative verb either but is generally regarded as a causative verb because of its grammatical use in a sentence. It has two structures. Subject + help (any tense) + object (usually person) + base form of verb +. . . Subject + help + object + infinitive + . . . . example: Rohim made me beat that little child. He always makes me do his work. Lina will make me prepare her homework.

Example: Robert let me escape the prison. Let me go. (Subject ‘you’ is hidden)The teacher let the students discuss among themselves. The verb ‘permit’/’allow’ does not follow this structure. It follows the regular sentence pattern of English language. Subject + permit/allow + object + infinitive + . . . . Example: John allowed him to drive his car. He always allows him to do that.
