Page 2: Detailed Explanation of Causative Verbs
The second page delves deeper into the causative verbs "have" and "get", explaining their usage with "something done". It reiterates the structure: have / get + direct object + past participle, emphasizing its use to express actions we commission others to do.
Example: "I'm going to have / get my hair cut tomorrow" demonstrates the future arrangement of a service.
This page elaborates on the passive nature of the causative structure, noting that while the direct object in the middle receives the action of the participle verb, it's usually translated in the active voice in other languages. The text also points out that while "have" and "get" are often used interchangeably in causative sentences, "get" is more informal and thus more common in spoken English.
Vocabulary: Causative structure - A grammatical construction used to indicate that a subject causes an action to be done by someone else.
The page concludes with additional examples, reinforcing the concept and providing more context for learners to understand the causative form in various situations.
