Causative Verbs
Causative verbs make
other verbs act. They cause
actions to occur.
Both of the previous sentences contained causative
verbs.
“Causative verbs make
other verbs act.
They cause actions to occur.”
The most frequently used causative verbs are as
follows:
help, allow, invite, require, motivate, get,
convince, hire, assist, encourage, permit, employ, force, compel, tell, ask.
get= it is expected
Farimah, could I get you to open the window?
I got my son to put the laundry in.
The manager got the servers to polish the cutlery.
Most commonly used ones: help, allow, invite, convince, hire, encourage, force, tell, ask.
These verbs are followed by a noun or pronoun followed
by an infinitive ‘to go, to see, etc’
Examples:
Mei
helped me to do my homework.
I help
my friend to fix his computer.
The
mother allows her son to play video games.
She
allows her pet cockatiel to perch on the
windowsill.
I will
invite my friends to come to my house.
I couldn’t
convince my father to get a cell phone.

a carpenter to build a new patio on our house."
I was
hired to fulfill online orders.
Junko
was hired to babysit every Wednesday night.
She
encourages herself to be braver.
He encourages
his daughter to go to university.
Winnie
sometimes has to force her son to go to school.

I told
my wife to buy herself something nice.
Mei

Dave
told his children to pick up their socks.
I will
ask my friend to lend me his truck.
borrow-
take
lend-
give/loan
Four other causative verbs do not follow this
pattern. The causative verbs help,
have, make and let are
followed by a noun/pronoun and the base form of the verb (which is
actually an infinitive with the "to" left off).
‘help’ can be used two ways:
Mei
helped me to do my homework.
Mei
helped me do my homework.
I
want to help my daughter fix her bicycle. – more natural sounding
I want to help my daughter to fix her
bicycle.
make-force
She makes him do his
homework.
She makes him to do his
homework. XXX
She forces him to do his
homework.
I made
my son finish his project before he played any video games.
I forced
my son to finish his project before he played any video games. force –
sounds really strong
let – allow
He lets his daughter use his
camera.
He allow his daughter to use
his camera.
I don’t allow my dog to sleep
on my bed.
I don’t let my dog sleep on
my bed.
let- only for nice things
Mei let her daughter ride her bicycle.
Mei let her daughter do her homework. NOT LIKELY
I let my son play Fortnite.
For homework,
try five sentences that use causative verbs. Email them to me by Sunday at 7.
help, allow, invite, convince, hire, encourage, force,
tell, ask
help, have, make
and let
REMEMBER: ‘Help’ can be used either way.
