The causative
The causative
Meaning
- We use have / get when we arrange for someone else to do something for us. We cause the action, but we do not do it ourselves.
| Type | Structure | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Active causative with have | have + person + infinitive (no to) | I had the mechanic repair my car. |
| Active causative with get | get + person + to + infinitive | I got a mechanic to repair my car. |
| Passive causative | have / get + object + past participle | I had my car fixed yesterday. |
- The passive causative is the most common; the doer is often not mentioned.
- The verb changes tense; the participle stays the same I have my hair cut every month; She is having her dress made; They will get the house painted; I had my phone repaired.
make= force someone to do something: My mother makes Sama tidy her room.
let / allow= give permission: Mr. Nasser sometimes lets Asmaa go for walks. / Mr. Nasser allows Asmaa to go for walks.
Patternmake / let + person + infinitive (no to); allow + person + to + infinitive.
- A mechanic fixed my car → I had my car fixed.
- A technician is installing their internet → They are having their internet installed.
- A tailor will make her dress → She will have her dress made.
- A dentist checked my teeth → I had my teeth checked.
- A friend is designing our website → We are getting our website designed.
WrongI had fix my car. Right: I had my car fixed.
WrongI got him fix it. Right: I got him to fix it (or I had him fix it).
- "Did you have your phone repaired recently?" "Who gets your school bag cleaned?" "Will you get your hair cut this weekend?" "Would you rather do things yourself or have them done?"
