Causative verb adalah kata kerja yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan
jika subjek tidak bertanggung jawab langsung terhadap aksi yang terjadi,
melainkan seseorang atau sesuatu yang lain yang melakukan aksi tersebut.
Contohnya adalah :
“I had my
hair cut”
Subjek I pada kalimat tersebut tidak memotong rambutnya sendiri
tapi justru membuat orang lain yang melakukannya. Umumnya ada empat kata kerja
causative verb yang sering digunakan, yakni have, get, let, dan make.
Kalimat causative verb terbagi menjadi 2 macam, yaitu active dan passive causative. Pada kalimat active causative verb, agent (yang mengerjakan aksi) diketahui. Sebaliknya, pada kalimat passive causative verb, agent biasanya tidak disebutkan.
