Causative

Causative verbs are used when one cannot perform an action themselves and requires another to do something for their benefit. There are several types of causative verbs in English including "have/had", "make/made", "let", "help", and "get". These verbs must be used correctly based on whether the sentence is active or passive voice and the tense. For example, "get" implies an active meaning when followed by an infinitive verb but a passive meaning when followed by a past participle verb.
