This lesson is packed with information on causative verbs. Let, make, have and get are the most common causative verbs. In addition to this, students will practice forming and using causative verbs (verb + object + bare infinitive), (e.g. My brother let me drive his car). They will also be introduced to allow, permit and enable followed by the infinitives. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to make logical sentences using causative verbs. This will allow them to gain insight into how to make demands, ask questions and describe services.
