Which sentence uses the causative correctly?

• I got my brother to fix my bike.

• I had my bike fix by my brother.

• I made my brother fixing my bike.

• I let my brother to fix my bike.

Answer explanation

Remember the structure GET+ somebody + TO - INFINITIVE (used when you get an action done by somebody).

"She had her hair cut yesterday."

• She cut her hair herself.

• Someone else cut her hair.

Answer explanation

It's kind of a passive structure since we don't mention the agent of the action (we assume it's the hairdresser) and the subject does not actually perform the action - but receives it.

Rewrite this sentence in the causative: "The teacher asked John to write the report."

• The teacher got John to write the report.

• The teacher had written the report by John.

• The teacher let John write the report.

• The teacher had John writing the report.

Answer explanation

Get + somebody + TO DO something

"They made me.................. (clean) the room"

Answer explanation

Remember that when somebody MAKES somebody DO something, the structure takes the infinitive WITHOUT TO in the active voice.

This is considered to be a causative structure, too.

Which option is incorrect?

• The person whom I met was kind.
