4.- Oscar had his wallet stolen last week.

We use causative when arranging for someone to do something for us.

Have + object + past participle

To form the present simple of the causative form, we use the present

simple of the verb have, the object of the sentence and the past

participle of the main verb Ex.: Peter has his flat cleaned once a week.

For the other tenses, we do the same but using the corresponding tense

of the verb have with that which we want to form.

Marion had her car serviced last week

The girls will have their eyes tested tomorrow (future)

In colloquial language, we can replace Have with the verb Get.

You will have the broken window replaced =

You will get the broken window replaced

The negative and the question are formed if we put the verb Have into

the interrogative or negative form.

Does Julio have his flat cleaned? Did Laura have her car serviced?

Julio doesn’t have his flat cleaned. Laura didn’t have her car serviced

WE USE THE CAUSATIVE TO SAY THAT SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING FOR

US

TO FORM THE CAUSATIVE FORM WE USE

HAVE + OBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE

EXAMPLE: ACTIVE: THE MECHANIC REPAIRS MY CAR.

CAUSATIVE: I HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED.

Write logical sentences using the causative form, follow the example:

(prince-make-get into)

(stepmother-have-sing) (birds-make-dress up)

(stepmother-let-go)

Tenses:

 We have our car repaired every year.

 We are having our car repaired soon.

A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MEANING.

PERFORMS A SERVICE FOR US. HOWEVER, WE USE THE CAUSATIVE TO STRESS THE

FACT THAT WE ARE “CAUSING SOMEONE ELSE TO PERFORM A SERVICE FOR US.

3. WE USE THE CAUSATIVE WITH THE FOLLOWIG VERBS:

BUILD, CLEAN, DECORATE, DELIVER, DEVELOP, MEND, PHOTOPY, PRESS, PRINT,

REPAIR and SERVICE.
