Causative verbs are verbs that show someone is making someone else do something or causing

something to happen. It's like one person is influencing or getting another person to perform an
action. Here are some examples:

Help:

Ejemplo: Can you help me open the jar? (¿Puedes ayudarme a abrir el frasco?)

Let:

Ejemplo: They let me use their computer. (Me permitieron usar su computadora.)

Make:

Ejemplo: I made her cry. (La hice llorar.)

When do we use these structures then? Think about your daily routine: how many times do you
ask or commission someone to do something?
