Causative verbs- practice

 

The most frequently used causative verbs are as follows:

 

help, allow, invite, require, motivate, encourage, get, convince, persuade, hire, assist, permit, employ, force, tell, ask

 

REMINDER:

causative verb + person + infinitive

convince + my sister + to get a dog

I convinced my sister to get a dog.

 

Different grammar: let, make, have

causative verb + person + infinitive – ‘to’

He made his kids clean their rooms.

allow/let

He allows his dog to sleep on the bed.

assist/help

We are learning a rich variety of sentence styles.

 

Practice writing some sentence with causative verbs:

help, allow, invite, require, motivate, encourage, get, convince, persuade, hire, assist, permit, employ, force, tell, ask

 

let, make, have
