Causative Verbs: HAVE, GET & More for Confident Grammar!
Wouldn’t it be nice if people always did what we wanted? In English, we use causative verbs to explain how one person causes another person to act.In this high-intermediate (B2+) grammar lesson, you’ll master the causative verbs:
• MAKE (force, no choice)
• LET (permission)
• HAVE (request or paid service)
• GET (persuasion or paid service)
You’ll learn the key patterns:
• MAKE someone + base verb
• LET someone + base verb
• HAVE someone + base verb
• HAVE something + past participle
• GET something + past participle
• GET someone + to + infinitive
We’ll compare meanings, review common mistakes (no infinitive after MAKE or LET!), and practice transforming sentences for greater accuracy and confidence.
At the end, enjoy a short, dramatic story and see if you can identify more verbs that express cause and effect in context.
This lesson is ideal for B2+ learners who want:
• stronger grammar control
• more natural sentence variety
• confidence in both everyday and professional English
