  3. Causative mood

    The "causative mood" is a grammatical construction used to express that a subject causes an action to happen, without necessarily performing it themselves. In English, it is most commonly expressed using causative verbs like make, have, get, let, and help. It indicates that the subject is the cause, while another person or thing performs the action. 

    How it works in English

    • Subject: The person or thing that causes the action. 

    • Causative Verb: The main verb that shows the cause (e.g., make, have, get). 

    • Object: The person or thing that performs the action. 

    • Second Verb: The action that is performed by the object. 

    Examples with different causative verbs

    • Make:

      To force someone to do something. 

      • "She made her son clean his room." (She forced him to do it). 

    • Have:

      To arrange for someone to do something for you, often used for services. 

      • "I had my hair cut." (I arranged for someone else to cut my hair). 

    • Get:

      To persuade or get someone to do something, often requiring "to" before the second verb. 

      • "I got my brother to help me with my homework.". 

    • Let:

      To give permission for someone to do something. 

      • "The teacher let the students go outside.". 

    • Help:

      To assist someone with an action. 

      • "He helps me move the furniture.". 

    Key differences from the passive voice

    • Causative:

      Focuses on the subject causing an action that is performed by someone else. The person performing the action is included in the sentence. 

      • "I had my car repaired." (I arranged for the repair). 

    • Passive:

      Focuses on the action and the object, often omitting the doer or placing them in a "by" phrase. 

      • "The car was repaired." (We don't know who did it, or we don't care). 

      • "The car was repaired by the mechanic.".
