In today's lesson, you'll learn about passive causative construction. This is an advanced lesson, so please watch the previous lesson on the active causative.
• Causative Verbs ~ Adva...
There are times when the passive causative is preferred.
You’ll use the passive when the thing or person receiving the action is more important than the one doing the action.
When you want to emphasize the thing or person receiving the action or you do not know who or what is DOING the action.
Under these circumstances, the passive in general should be used.
But when we express causation in the passive voice, the sentence structure changes.
In today’s lesson, you’ll learn about the passive causative.
We’ll compare the two passive forms: the be-passive and the get-passive.
How only one causative verb (which is considered the prototypical causative) follows the regular be-passive structure.
Two other causative verbs follow the get-passive structure.
And one causative verb that follows the passive imperative mood structure.

Hi ma'am thanks for the video Why didn't you add on caustive verb "help"

@thelearningdepot Жыл бұрын

HI, the verb "help" is not considered a true causative; therefore, I didn't include it. But it's a great question because a lot of teachers will include it under the causatives. Here's an example. ACTIVE: The teacher helped the students (to) write the essay. PASSIVE: The students were helped to write the essay. (by the teacher) This construction follows the same as MAKE: be + past participle + to-infinitive (catenative construction). Thanks for pointing it out, Ranbir.

" I have ,/ get the children not make 'OR' not to make so much noise." Can the structure above be used in the causative sentence ? ( Have/get + obj + negative ) Thank you.

Thanks a lot! But I didn`t get. (Whicked Stepmother lets Cinderella brush her hair). Who does the hair need to be brushed belong to, either to Stepmother or to Cinderella? How will I know?

@thelearningdepot 8 ай бұрын

It would be Wicked Stepmother's hair, but the structure is confusing. Most speakers or writers would avoid using this vague, albeit correct, grammatical structure.

Hi first of all thanks for your time and helpful videos truly appreciate it. I get really confused regarding causative and non-causative verbs they say in some sentences have or got used aren’t always causative for example She got her purse stolen or I had my mom call me non-stop or I have my friends coming over. Is this true? How do we know if a sentence is causative or not causative. And let’s say if my child missed school two days because he got sick. Will it be correct to say either of these sentences , I’m calling in to report my child sick/absent. Or I’m calling in regarding my child being absent for two days. Please advise!

@thelearningdepot Жыл бұрын

She got her purse stolen is in the passive causative structure. I had my mom call me non-stop and, I have my friends coming over are both active causative structures. He got sick is not causative. The verb “got” is informal for “became”. He became sick. The verb is a linking verb in this case.

Respected Ma'am, 1)covered in bandages, I met my wife (correct) 2) I met my wife, covered in bandages. I don't think the second sentence is a dangling modifier as a comma(,) is utilized. So both are correct.

@thelearningdepot Жыл бұрын

Hi Danniel, I would not use the second sentence because although it has a comma, it is ambiguous and reads like a dangling modifier.😊

@@thelearningdepot1) I found him shouting his name.( It modifies "him") 2) I found him, shouting his name (it modifies "I") then I should say the second sentence "shouting his name, I found him"or "I, shouting his name, found him." Am I right? And another question- Are you afraid, doing that?(participle)/ Are you afraid to do that?(infinitive) Is there any difference between the two sentences when it comes to talking about their meanings??

@thelearningdepot Жыл бұрын

@@dan93431 all your examples are correct as long as there is no ambiguity. You are using participial phrases. Just remember that in order to prevent confusion, a participial phrase must be placed as close to the noun it modifies as possible, and the noun must be clearly stated. For your second question, there is a slight meaning between doing that (implies present action) and to do that (implies future action).

Should not we add "THE" before: "THE wicked stepmother lets Ciderella brush her hair" , s i n c e we know that this stepmother is the one MENTIONED in that well'known fairy story.???? ANOTHER QUESTION: You have said that to avoid ambiguity we should use allowed: "THE" wicked stepmother allows Cinderella to brush her hair. (Active, right )? NOW, "THE" wicked stepmother lets her hair to be brushed (by Cinderella) - there is no doubt here, by the structute itself, THAT Cinderella will brush her wicked stepmother's hair. THOUGH, the trouble here is THAT : WHY would Cinderella wish to Comb her very wicked stepmother's hair ????????.This example should be excluded in my view. This is the REASON by which people in this channel (including me in the begining) are in doubt about "Who Wil brush which hair" "Bear in mind THAT:" it would be BETTER to use HAVE or MAKE in that case. The wicked stepmother HAS her hair brushed every mourning (by Cinderella) OR: The wicked stepmother makes Cinderella brush/comb her hair every mourning. (ACTIVE) or The wicked stepmother"s hair is brushed every mourning by Cinderella. (Passive BUT Not causative). ONE MORE QUESTION: What about: Cinderella is let to brush her hair by her wicked stepmother. Is LET TO possible as MAKE TO In the passive? C.H. - Brazil/GO
