THE PASSIVE CAUSATIVE
What Is the Passive Causative?
Causative verbs (have, let, make) are used when one person is causing another to do something. The passive is used when the focus is on the thing instead of the person. When you combine them together, you are essentially saying someone caused something to be done (by someone).
Penggunaan Causative Verbs Have/Get, Let, Make, dan Help Ingin tahu tentang: contoh kalimat causative help contoh causative have and get causative sentence contoh soal causative causative verb active and passive Berikut ini merupakan materi tentang Causative Verbs: Have/Get, Let, Make, dan Help lengkap dengan contoh kalimat Causative Verbs digunakan untuk mengindikasikan bahwa seseorang membuat orang lain melakukan sesuatu untuk dirinya, bisa dengan membayar, meminta, atau memaksa. Causative Verbs meliputi have, get, dan make. Sementara Let dan Help sebenarnya bukan merupakan Causative Verbs, tetapi umumnya, dalam grammar textbook dianggap sebagai Causative.
Why “Get”?
Since the causative verbs are have, let, and make, students might be wondering why the passive causative is formed with have or get. Get is possible for two reasons:
1. Get is the casual passive form. Instead of the problem was solved, you can say the problem got solved.
2. Get also has a causative meaning. You can say I got someone to do something, with the meaning of cause or force. However, because it’s not a true causative verb, the base verb is not used, and an infinitive verb is used instead (which is the normal case for a second verb in a sentence after an object). See our Causative Verbs post for more information.
One More Example…
I got my hair cut is probably one of the most commonly used passive causative sentences around. But because cut is an irregular verb that has the same form for the past participle as it does for the base verb, it’s a good idea to give students another example with a verb that changes forms. Try showing them these sentences:
Causative : The manager had the assistant write the report.
Passive : The report was/got written (by the assistant).
Passive Causative : The manager had/got the report written (by the assistant).

DETERMINERS
What are determiners?
A determiner is used to modify a noun. It indicates reference to something specific or something of a particular type. This function is usually performed by articles, demonstratives, possessive determiners, or quantifiers.
Determiners vs pronouns
Determiners are followed by a noun.
§ The man
§ This book
§ Some people
Subject pronouns ( I , you , he , etc.) and possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, etc.) cannot be determiners because they can never be followed by a noun.
Types of determiners
Articles
The definite and indefinite articles are all determiners.
§ Definite article - the
§ Indefinite article - a or an (a is used before a consonant sound; an is used before a vowel sound.)
Examples:
Close the door,
please.
I've got a friend
in Canada.
Demonstratives
There are four demonstrative determiners in English and they are: this, that, these and those
Note that demonstrative determiners can also be used as demonstrative pronouns. When they are used as determiners they are followed by the nouns they modify. Compare:
This is my camera.
(Demonstrative used as a pronoun,
subject of the verb is)
This camera
is mine. (Demonstrative used as a determiner modifying
the noun camera.)
Possessives
Possessive adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their - modify the noun following it in order to show possession.
Possessive determiners are different from possessive pronouns - mine, his, hers, yours, ours, theirs.
§ Possessive pronouns can stand alone and are not followed by nouns.
§ Possessive determiners, on the other hand, are followed by nouns.
Compare:
This is my house. (my is a possessive
determiner. It is followed by the noun house which it
modifies)
Is that car yours? (yours is
a possessive pronoun. It is not followed by a noun.)
Quantifiers
Quantifiers are followed by nouns which they modify. Examples of quantifiers include:
some, any, few, little, more, much, many, each, every, both, all, enough, half, little, whole, less etc.
Quantifiers are commonly used before either countable or uncountable nouns.
He knows more people than his wife.
Little knowledge
is a dangerous thing .
