    The passage discusses the meaning and usage of causative verbs which express causing something to happen by having someone else do it. It covers the verbs let, make, have, and get and provides examples of their usage in active and passive structures.

    The passage discusses the causative verbs let, make, have, and get. Let expresses allowing something to happen, make expresses forcing or convincing someone, have expresses wanting something done, and get is similar to have but with different sentence structures.

    Causative verbs and passive verbs can express similar meanings. Specifically, the 'have' causative verb structure using 'have + object + past participle' is noted to be similar in meaning to a passive verb.

    Causative Verbs

    Causative verbs express an action which is caused to happen. In other


    words, when I have something done for me I cause it to happen. In other
    words, I do not actually do anything, but ask someone else to do it for me.
    This is the sense of causative verbs. Intermediate to advanced level
    English learners should study the causative verb as an alternative to the
    passive voice.

    Jack had his house


    painted.
    This sentence is similar in meaning to: Someone painted Jack's house. OR
    Jack's house was painted by someone. Causative verbs express the idea of
    someone causing something to take place. Causative verbs can be similar
    in meaning to passive verbs.
    Examples:
    My hair was cut. (passive)
    I had my hair cut. (causative)
    Both 'make' and 'have' can be used as causative verbs.

    Make
    'Make' as a causative verb expresses the idea that the person requires
    another person to do something.
    Construction Chart
    Subject + Make + Person + Base Form of Verb
    Examples:
    Peter made her do her homework.
    The teacher made the students stay after class.

    Have
    'Have' as a causative verb expresses the idea that the person wants
    something to be done for them. This causative verb is often used when
    speaking about various services. There are two forms of the causative
    verb 'have'.
    Construction Chart: Use 1
    Subject + Have + Person + Base Form of Verb
    Examples:
    They had John arrive early.
    She had her children cook dinner for her.

    Construction Chart: Use 2


    Subject + Have + Object + Past Participle
    Examples:
    I had my hair cut last Saturday.
    She had the car washed at the weekend.
    Note: This form is similar in meaning to the passive.

    Get
    'Get' is used as a causative verb in a similar way as 'have' is used with the
    participle. This expresses the idea that the person wants something to be
    done for them. The causative verb is often used in a more idiomatic
    manner than 'have'.
    Construction Chart
    Subject + Get + Person + Past Participle
    Examples:
    They got their house painted last week.
    Tom got his car washed yesterday.
