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
