bonjour,

j'aimerais recevoir des conseils sur le sujet des verbes causatifs. comment expliquer la règle (= verbe au participe passé ou infinitif sans to) de manière simple ? et quels sont les verbes qui introduisent ce type de phrase ?

ex : I have my hair washED

I make my cake cook

 Merci d'avance

Hi gretabeau

Causative verbs are used when  the subject causes someone or something else to do the action.

 

Here are some examples: 

 

Jane got her brother to do her homework.

I had my car cleaned.

I'll let you borrow my book.

 

Verbs:

 

have

make

let

get

 

 I make my cake cook is incorrect.

 

Hope this helps.
