Rumus causative verb terbagi menjadi active dan Passive:

1. Active Sentence.
Masing-masing causative verb mempunyai grammarnya sendiri:
a. Have/Make.
Rumus: Subject + Have/Has + Infinitive/V1.
Contoh:
My teacher make me do my home work
(guru saya memerintahkan saya untuk mengerjakan PR)
b. She has me come to her house right now.
(dia menyuruh saya untuk datang ke rumahnya sekarang juga)
 c. Let.
Rumus: Let + Objek + Infinitive/V1.
Contoh:
Never let her go, or you will regret forever.
(Jangan biarkan dia pergi atau kau akan menyesal selamanya).
d. Get.
Rumus: Subject + Get + O + to Infinitive/V1.
Contoh:
I get you to like this explanation.
(aku menyuruhmu to meng-like penjelasan ini)

2. Passive Sentence.
Rumus causative dalam bentuk passive rumusnya sama. Hanya let saja yang tidak
memiliki bentuk passive.
Rumus: S + Have/Make/Get + O + V3.
Contoh:
a. Have.
She has her car fixed
(dia menyuruh seseorang agar mobilnya diperbaiki).
I have the speaker loaded.
(aku minta speakernya dikeraskan).
b. Make.
I make this house cleaned.
(saya minta (kepada seseorang) agar rumah ini dibersihkan).
Alfonso makes John killed.
(Alfonso menyuruh (seseorang) agar John dibunuh).
c. Get.
Do you get your clothes washed?
(apakah kamu menyuruh bajumu dicuci).
Sandy gets her hair cut.
(Sandy minta agar rambutnya dipotong).

We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone else did for us or
for another person. It means that the subject caused the action to happen, but didn't do it
themselves. Maybe they paid, or asked, or persuaded the other person to do it. For example, we
can say:

 I cleaned my house. (This means I cleaned it myself).

If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say:

 A cleaner cleaned my house.

But, another way is to use a causative construction. So I can also say:

 I had my house cleaned.

In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a passive. The important thing is that the
house is now clean. We don't focus on who did the cleaning.
Have + object + past participle (have something done)

We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do
something for us. It's often used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past
participle'.

 I had my car washed.

 John will have his house painted.

Get + object + past participle (get something done)

We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'have',
but is less formal.

 The students get their essays checked.

 I'll get my hair cut next week.
 He got his washing machine fixed.

Try an exercise about 'have something done' and 'get something done' here.

Have someone do something (have + person + infinitive)

We can also use the construction 'subject + have + person + infinitive'. This has a very similar
meaning to 'have something done', which we've already talked about, but this time we say who
did the thing - we talk about the person who we asked to do the thing for us.

 I had the electrician look at my broken light.

 The doctor will have the nurse call the patients.
 The teacher had the students write the answers on the whiteboard.

Get someone to do something (get + person + to + infinitive)

Finally, we can also use the construction 'get + someone + to + infinitive'. Again, this means that
you cause the other person to do the action, maybe by paying them to do it, or by asking them to
do it, or by persuading them to do it.

 She gets her son to do his homework by promising him ice cream when he's finished.
 I got the cleaner to clean under the cupboards.

Sometimes, this construction has the feeling that we needed to convince someone to do
something, while the other constructions on this page are neutral.

1. The cleaner cleaned the house. (have) I had the cleaner clean the house.
2. The taxi driver colletced us. (have) I had the taxi driver collect us.
3. John arrived on time. (get) I got John to arrive on time.
4. The mechanic fixed the brakes. (have) I had the mechanic fix the brakes.
5. The teacher explained the lesson. (have) I had the teacher explain the lesson.
6. My husband looked after our children. (get) I got my husband to look after our children.
7. The waiter brought some water. (have) I had the waiter bring some water.
8. The nurse took your temperature. (have) I had the nurse take your temperature.
 9. The students stopped sleeping in class. (get) I got the students to stop sleeping in class.
10. The teenagers went to bed early. (get) I got the teenagers to go to bed early.

13. The window cleaner washed the windows. (have) I had the window cleaner wash the
windows.
14. The toddler ate her vegetables. I got the toddler to eat her vegetables.
15. The teacher checked my writing. (get) I got the teacher to check my writing.

17. The shop assistant gave me a discount. (get) I got the shop assistant to give me a
discount.
18. The shop delivered the food. (have) I had the shop deliver the food.
19. The children did their homework. (get) I got the children to do their homework.
20. My colleague helped me write the report. (get) I got my colleague to help me write the
report.

CAUSATIVE HAVE AND GET

There are two basic structures for the causative sentences
1. ACTIVE
Have usually indicates that the person used his or her authority to obtain the result.
We use causative have to show that you ask someone to do something. When we use “have”, we usually have power over
somebody. We don’t need to persuade them, you are paying them to do something or you are in charge.
Pattern : S + have(has/had) + someone + infinitive without “to”
Example:
1. I will have Rudy paint my room tomorrow.
2. Susi has had her sister buy a tin of candy.
3. Did you have the supplier send me more samples?
4. Does the teacher have the student read the book?

Get refers to a situation in which the person persuaded rather than ordered someone to carry out an action or someone
convinces another person to do something.

 We want to talk about something which we arrange for something or someone else to do
for us.

 One thing or person causes another person or thing to do something.

 We had some kind of work done for us.

Pattern : S + get(gets/got) + someone + infinitive with “to”

Example:
1. She gets her mother to cook some food.
2. They get the children to clean the house.
3. Did you get the experts to fix the damage?
4. Will he get them to follow the meeting?
2. PASSIVE
We use causative have or get when we had some kind of work done for us.
Pattern : S + have + O + V3 (past participle)
S + get + O + V3 (past participle)
Example:
1. We have had our house repainted.
2. I have my jacket cleaned at a laundry.
3. Who is having his room cleaned?
4. Who must have the work finished on time?
5. She gets her car fixed by a mechanic.
6. They get their taxes done every year by an accountant.
7. Who will get her letters mailed tomorrow?
8. Who got her letter typed by a friend?

DISCUSSION
We use causative have and get when :

 We want to talk about something which we arrange for something or someone else to do
for us.

 One thing or person causes another person or thing to do something.

 We had some kind of work done for us.

3. Let dan Help

 Kata let dan help sebenarnnya bukan kata kerja causative, namun banyak orang memasukan kata
kata tersebut kedalam kata kerja causative, mengapa kata kata ini tidak termasuk kata kerja
causative? Ini karena pada kedua kata kata tersebut tidak mengimplikasikan bahwa seseorang
meminta orang lain melakukan sesuatu untuknya. Namun mari kita bahasa kedua kata tersebut:

a. Let : Kata let mempunyai arti persamaan arti dengan kata allow atau permit yang berarti
mengizinkan.
Pola kalimat ini adalah:
Subject + let + Object + Verb 1

Contoh penggunaan let dalam kalimat:

1. Mr. Bronto let his daughter swim with her friends.
2. Mr. Bronto allowed his daughter to swim with her friends.
3. Mr. Bronto permitted his daughter to swim with her friends.cc
NOTE : ketika kalimat diatas mengandung kata yang sama yaitu “Pak Bronto mengizinkan anak
perempuannya berenang dengan teman temannya”

4. The teacher let the children leave the class early.

(Guru mengizinkan murud murid pulang awal”
5. Dr. Andi let the students hand in the paper on Monday.
(Dr. Andi mengizinkan murid muridnya mengumpulkan tugasnya hari Senin)
6. Mr. Indra always lets his children watch cartoons on Saturday morning.
(Pak Indra selalu membiarkan/mengizinkan anak anaknya menonton kartun pada Sabtu pagi)

b. Help : Bila di masukkan kedalam kata kerja causative, kata ini biasa diikuti oleh kata kerja
bentuk pertama.
Pola kalimat :
Subject + help/assist + Object + verb 1
Contoh dalam kalimat

(John membantu Mary mencuci piring)
2. The teacher helped Mary find the research materials.
(guru membantu Mary menemukan materi penelitian)
