CAUSATIVE VERBS
Causative is a form of sentence used when we don't do something ourselves but ask
others who do it. There are 4 types, namely active causative (make, have, get), passive
causative (make, have, get), Non-Causative (Let, Help, Allow/Permit, Want).
     In English, the causative form is used when we do not do something ourselves, but rather
we ask others to do it. For example, I have my hair cut. Subject I in the sentence above did
not apply her own hair,but someone else did, with the subject’s own their agreement.
