The causative form.

Imagine you're asking someone to do something for you or you're talking about getting
something done. This is where the causative form comes into play. The causative form helps us
show that someone else is responsible for performing an action on our behalf. It's like we're
causing someone else to do something for us.

How do we create the causative form?

We create the causative form by using certain verbs like "have" or "get" before
another verb. Here's the basic structure:

HAVE:

When you use "have" in this form, it means you're arranging for someone else to do
an action for you.

Have + Object + Base Verb + Complement

Original sentence: "She fixes her bike herself." (HAVE)

In the original sentence, it means that she is the one doing the action of fixing her bike,
and he's doing it independently on her own.

Causative form: "She has her bike fixed."

In the causative form, it means that she is not fixing the bike herself. Instead, he's
arranging for someone else to fix her bike for her. she's making someone else do the action for
her.

GET:

When you use "get" in the causative form, it also means someone else is doing an
action for you. However, "get" often implies that you might not have as much control over
the situation.

Get + Object + Base Verb + Complement

Original sentence: "Dad will make us some toast." (GET)

In the original sentence, it means that Dad is going to take the action of making toast
for "us." Dad is the one directly doing the action of making toast.

Causative form: "I will get Dad to make us some toast."

Instead, you're taking on the role of causing or arranging for Dad to make toast. You're
influencing the action, but you're not the one performing it.

"Have" suggests more control on your part. You're arranging and taking
responsibility for the action.

"Get" suggests a bit less control. You're making the action happen, but there might
be factors outside your control influencing it.
