Causative

Verbs

Causative
verbs 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. If I paid someone to clean it, of course I can say: But, another way is to use a causative construction. So

(This mean I clean it myself) A cleaner cleaned I can also say:

my house I had my house cleaned
