Passive Causative

  Passive Causative  Definition It is a grammatical construction that is used when we want to express that someone or something caused an action to be performed by another person or thing. This structure allows us to change the focus of the sentence, highlighting who or what caused the action rather than who performed it. In essence, it is a way of emphasizing the cause behind an action as opposed to the main actor. Structure   Subject + have/get + object + past participle. Sentences  - I had my car repaired -  She got her hair cut Conversation  Sarah :  The kitchen is a mess!  Alex : I know, I’ll ask to have the dishes washe Sarah : Thank you, don’t forget to have the countertops cleaned too  Alex : I have not forgotten. They are coming later to handle that
