English Causative Verbs - MAKE, LET, HAVE and more. Part One.

When we want to indicate that one thing causes another, we often use a causative verb. They're jolly handy, but not always easy to use. There's a lot to cover so this is a two part lesson. In this first video we'll see lots of examples and check the meanings of the most common causative verbs (make, let, and have).

Causative verbs follow different structures and the most common ones are a bit strange. So in our next video we dive into the grammar so you know the patterns to follow to use causative verbs correctly.

The causative verbs 'have' and 'get' are often used in the passive (have/get something done). Here's a link to our video about that.

You always make me smile, when I'm watching another video from you ♥

I hope strange people, who are clicking on the "thumbs down" button under your videos don't let you both ever feel discouraged. ♥
(WHY do they actually watch your videos and WHY don't they just click on another, if they don't like it xD)
