Causative verbs show that a subject causes, allows, or arranges for someone else to
an action, rather than doing it directly. Verbs such as let, have, and make are followed by an object and the
form of the verb, without 'to'. In contrast, verbs such as enable, persuade, require, and force are followed by an object and
plus the base form of the verb. 'Get', although it has no non-causative form, behaves like these verbs and also requires an object followed by
plus the base verb, meaning to convince someone to do something. A passive causative structure, formed with have or get plus an object and a
,
shows that an action was done for the subject rather than by the subject.
