Master Causative Verbs in English: Have, Get, Make, Let, Help

Master Causative Verbs in English: Have, Get, Make, Let, Help Do you say "I cut my hair" when you actually went to a salon? In English, this implies you did it yourself! To speak correctly, you need to master causative verbs. In this English grammar lesson, we break down the structure and meaning of the five most common causative verbs: Have, Get, Make, Let, and Help. We explain how these verbs show that a subject caused an action to happen rather than doing it themselves. You will learn the difference between the active form (focusing on the agent) and the passive form (focusing on the object), ensuring you never confuse them again. In this video, you will learn: • Have & Get: How to talk about services you pay for (like having your car fixed or hair cut). • The Difference: Why "Get" often implies persuasion while "Have" is more neutral or formal. • Make: How to express forcing or obliging someone to do something. • Let: How to give permission or allow an action. • Help: The correct structure for assisting someone. Perfect for beginner to intermediate students, this lesson provides clear formulas and examples to improve your English speaking practice and grammar accuracy.
