Wouldn’t it be nice if people always did what we wanted? In English, we use causative verbs to explain how one person causes another person to act.

In this high-intermediate (B2+) grammar lesson, you’ll master the causative verbs:
• MAKE (force, no choice)
• LET (permission)
• HAVE (request or paid service)
• GET (persuasion or paid service)

You’ll learn the key patterns:
• MAKE someone + base verb
• LET someone + base verb
• HAVE someone + base verb
• HAVE something + past participle
• GET something + past participle
• GET someone + to + infinitive

We’ll compare meanings, review common mistakes (no infinitive after MAKE or LET!), and practice transforming sentences for greater accuracy and confidence.

At the end, enjoy a short, dramatic story and see if you can identify more verbs that express cause and effect in context.

This lesson is ideal for B2+ learners who want:
• stronger grammar control
• more natural sentence variety
• confidence in both everyday and professional English
