SUBORDINATING CONJUNGTIONS

The causative is a common structure in English.
It is used when one thing or person causes another thing or
person to do something.
It shows that somebody or something is indirectly
responsible for an action. The subject doesn't perform the
action itself, but causes someone or something else to do
it instead. Pinker, (1988)
CAUSATIVES

There are two basic causative structures. One is like an active,
and the other is like a passive. These examples use the
causative verb "have“.
 They arranged for the handphone to be fixed by your brother
 You caused him to fix it.
• You arranged for the handphone to be fixed by someone.
• We don't know who, so this is like a passive
You have your brother fix the handphone
You have the handphone fixed

Example : susan has her her brother do homework
we have the carpenter fix our window
In the passive form, there is usually no agent. The action verb is in the
past participle, and the object comes before it
Example : we have our door fixed
rose has her hair cut
khalipah has the window cleaned
This is the basic structure of the active form, along with some
more examples
The Active Caustive
Structure
Have someone do something
Have something done

There many other verbs that can be used with causatives. In the active form,
some of these verbs require the action verb to have "to" before it. These are some
examples of the most common causative verbs.
