UNIT 3 LESSON 2 PASSIVE CAUSATIVE

 

PASSIVE CAUSATIVE 

The "passive causative" is nothing more than the use of causative verbs in the passive form. They are two complex grammatical structures, but don't let that scare you. If you know how to use them separately, combining them is very simple.

If the passive changes the focus from the subject to the object and the causative indicates that someone asks or commissions someone to do something, the combination of both is, in essence, that someone commissions something to be done. But this looks better with an example:

example

Passive: The car was fixed by the mechanic.

Subject+ Be/get+ past partiviple

Causative: He had the mechanic fix his car.

Subject+ have/let/make+objec+base verb                                                                                                       

Causative passive: He had his car fixed by the mechanic. 

Subject+ have/get+Objevt/ ´past participle
