Causative Verbs

 

Causative verbs make other verbs act.  They cause actions to occur.

causation / cause- cause and effect, stimulus and result

 

-something that makes something else happen

-chemistry – catalyst – chemical that causes another chemical to react

 

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, persuade, hire, assist, encourage, permit, employ, force, compel, tell, ask

 

EXAMPLES OF CAUSATIVE VERBS

 

Napoleon forced the animals to work “like slaves”(?).

I forced my young son to take a bath.

The aninals allowed the pigs to have the best food.

Boxer motivated the other animals to work hard.

Squealer told the animals to be on the lookout for Snowball.

 

Farimah, could I get you to open the window? – polite command

I got my son to wash the dishes.  between ‘ask’ and ‘force’

I got my son to put his laundry away.

The manager got the servers to polish the cutlery.

get – there is an expectation that the person will be willing to do the thing

I will get you to put your phones away during the test.

 

force, compel – very very strong

The police officer forced the robber to lay on the ground.

The judge compelled the man to pay his child support.

I feel compelled  to warn you about travelling to North Korea.

 

Most commonly used ones: help, allow, invite, convince, hire, encourage, tell, ask.

We use these ones most every day.

 

GRAMMAR FOR CAUSATIVE VERBS:

These verbs are followed by a noun or pronoun followed by an infinitive ‘to go, to see, etc’

Examples:

help    infinitive

Mei helped me to do my homework.

 

I help my friend to fix his computer.

help somebody do some action

 

The mother allows her son to play video games.

She allows her pet cockatiel to perch on the windowsill.

 

allow- permit to something fun or good

The mother allows her daughter to do homework. STRANGE

The mother allows/permitted her son to play video games.

The mother will allow her daughter to go to the sleepover.

 

ERROR WITH VERB TENSE

The mother allowed her daughter to went to the sleepover. XXX

The mother allowed her daughter to go to the sleepover.

The mother will allow her daughter to go to the sleepover.

 

GOOD

allowed to go- causative, passive voice

She was allowed to go to the sleepover. PASSIVE VOICE

Am I allowed to rewrite the test? PASSIVE VOICE

 

I will invite my friends to come to my house.

I will invite my friends coming to my house. XXX

Another Causative verb: inspire

Another Causative verb: teach

very common causative verb - ask

CONFUSED

borrow- take

lend- give/loan

You borrow a book from the library.

The library lends/loans you the book.

Could you borrow lend me a pencil?

Could I borrow a pencil (from you)?

 

 

The basic pattern for causative verbs is

causative verb + infinitive

e.g. Mary asked her son to walk the dog.

 

 

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:

help + infinitive OR infinitive without ‘to’

a.    Mei helped me to do my homework.

b.   Mei helped me do my homework.

 

I want to help my daughter fix her bicycle.

I want to help my daughter to fix her bicycle.

GOOD POINT: Only have, make and let are special.  No ‘to’

REMEMBER: Help can be used either way.

 

Are have, make and let important to know?

have = get to   She had the repair person fix the window. She got the repair person to fix the window.

 

make = force to ALTERNATIVES

He made the dog sit.  ‘sit’ stays the same    make changes tense

l  Chapter 7 Discussion Notes

MY LECTURE NOTES

  “bitter winter” humans waiting for them to fail, rallying source of pride for animals, READ FROM PHOTOCOPY ABOUT RUSSIAN WINTER

 

  humans believe Snowball was not cause of the windmill falling down, walls too thin

  rebuild windmill “cruel work” (49)

  January rations short, starvation looms

famine- widespread starvation

  Napoleon proposes campaign to impress outsiders

  Napoleon appears in “ceremonial manner” (50) escorted by dogs

 

Q5

  hens to surrender eggs for sale

  hens stage rebellion

  hens starved out, capitulate, rebellion hushed up

 

Q6

  all misdeeds/mishaps attributed to Snowball

  Snowball causing trouble, cows “milked... in their sleep” (52)

  Napoleon frightens animals with bogeyman of Snowball

  Snowball and Jones not enemies “in league” (53)

  scapegoat

 

 

Q7

  Propaganda- Snowball in league with Mr. Jones from beginning

  Squealer retells Battle of the Cowshed- Napoleon heroic, Snowball cowardly

  Boxer disbelieving but then convinced (54, top of 55)

 

  Squealer appeals to authority (55)

 

Logical fallacies.

Good ways to trick people in an argument, as used by Squealer:

 

The Appeal to Authority is a fallacy with the following form:

Person A is (claimed to be) an authority on subject S.

Person A makes claim C about subject S.

Therefore, C is true.

 

The Appeal to Fear is a fallacy with the following pattern:

Y is presented (a claim that is intended to produce fear).

Therefore claim X is true (a claim that is generally, but need not be, related to Y in some manner).

 

The Relativist Fallacy is committed when a person rejects a claim by asserting that the claim might be true for others but is not for         him/her.  This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:

Claim X is presented.

Person A asserts that X may be true for others but is not true for him/her.

Therefore A is justified in rejecting X.

 

The Appeal to Emotion is a fallacy with the following structure:

Favorable emotions are associated with X.

Therefore, X is true.

This fallacy is committed when someone manipulates peoples' emotions in order to get them to accept a claim as being true. More formally, this sort of "reasoning" involves the substitution of various means of producing strong emotions in place of evidence for a claim. If the favorable emotions associated with X influence the person to accept X as true because they "feel good about X," then he has fallen prey to the fallacy.
