- In today's lesson, you'll learn about passive causative construction. This is an advanced lesson, so please watch the previous lesson on the active causative.
• Causative Verbs ~ Adva...
There are times when the passive causative is preferred.
You’ll use the passive when the thing or person receiving the action is more important than the one doing the action.
When you want to emphasize the thing or person receiving the action or you do not know who or what is DOING the action.
Under these circumstances, the passive in general should be used.
But when we express causation in the passive voice, the sentence structure changes.
In today’s lesson, you’ll learn about the passive causative.
We’ll compare the two passive forms: the be-passive and the get-passive.
How only one causative verb (which is considered the prototypical causative) follows the regular be-passive structure.
Two other causative verbs follow the get-passive structure.
And one causative verb that follows the passive imperative mood structure.

Hi ma'am thanks for the video
Why didn't you add on caustive verb "help"
HI, the verb "help" is not considered a true causative; therefore, I didn't include it. But it's a great question because a lot of teachers will include it under the causatives.
Here's an example.
ACTIVE: The teacher helped the students (to) write the essay.
PASSIVE: The students were helped to write the essay. (by the teacher) This construction follows the same as MAKE: be + past participle + to-infinitive (catenative construction).
Thanks for pointing it out, Ranbir.
Thanks a million for replying
Excellent.Thank you
Thank you so much for the in-depth explanation.
You're quite welcome! 😊
Amazing Video! Great teacher! Thank you

I'll have to learn this one later. It's too advanced for me. Her lessons are fantastic.
Can we use all 12 tens in passive causative verbs
Respected Ma'am, you are earnestly entreated to change the voice change -They had their haversacks slung behind their backs.
Hi first of all thanks for your time and helpful videos truly appreciate it. I get really confused regarding causative and non-causative verbs they say in some sentences have or got used aren’t always causative for example She got her purse stolen or I had my mom call me non-stop or I have my friends coming over. Is this true? How do we know if a sentence is causative or not causative. And let’s say if my child missed school two days because he got sick. Will it be correct to say either of these sentences , I’m calling in to report my child sick/absent. Or I’m calling in regarding my child being absent for two days. Please advise!
She got her purse stolen is in the passive causative structure.
I had my mom call me non-stop and, I have my friends coming over are both active causative structures.
He got sick is not causative. The verb “got” is informal for “became”. He became sick. The verb is a linking verb in this case.
👍👍
Amazing babay
Mam i have some doubt. how can i do coordinate with you???
Please leave your question in the comment section as it may help other students. Thanks! 😊
@@thelearningdepot mam i want to talk personal.
You used Instagram.
Thanks a lot! But I didn`t get. (Whicked Stepmother lets Cinderella brush her hair). Who does the hair need to be brushed belong to, either to Stepmother or to Cinderella? How will I know?
It would be Wicked Stepmother's hair, but the structure is confusing. Most speakers or writers would avoid using this vague, albeit correct, grammatical structure.
@@thelearningdepot Thanks a lot! And I can't figure out how to make this sentence understandable (whose hair should Cinderella brush)....Perhaps: Cinderella is allowed to brush her Wicked Stepmother's hair? ❤❤❤
@@eugenewhiting8928 That sentence is correct. However, keep in mind that it doesn't technically fall under the causative structure.
@@thelearningdepot Yes, Thank you, I became interested in how to avoid ambiguity and express the exact meaning, regardless of the grammatical structure.♥♥♥P.S. In Russian we also have the same problem.
Where is mixed causative?
Respected Ma'am, 1)covered in bandages, I met my wife (correct) 2) I met my wife, covered in bandages. I don't think the second sentence is a dangling modifier as a comma(,) is utilized. So both are correct.
Hi Danniel, I would not use the second sentence because although it has a comma, it is ambiguous and reads like a dangling modifier.😊
@@thelearningdepot1) I found him shouting his name.( It modifies "him") 2) I found him, shouting his name (it modifies "I") then I should say the second sentence "shouting his name, I found him"or "I, shouting his name, found him." Am I right? And another question- Are you afraid, doing that?(participle)/ Are you afraid to do that?(infinitive) Is there any difference between the two sentences when it comes to talking about their meanings??
@@dan93431 all your examples are correct as long as there is no ambiguity. You are using participial phrases. Just remember that in order to prevent confusion, a participial phrase must be placed as close to the noun it modifies as possible, and the noun must be clearly stated.
For your second question, there is a slight meaning between doing that (implies present action) and to do that (implies future action).
The employee is made to finish the report before the deadline by the employer.
The teacher had the song sung by the students.
