Causatives/Permissives: Definition

               We use causatives and permissives when the
               subject of a sentence does not do an action, but
               rather causes or permits another agent to do an
               action.
               For example, whenever you want, have, allow
               someone to do something, you are using a causative or
               permissive.

               Main (or functional) verb: The verb that gets
               conjugated (the subject’s verb)
               Agent: The person who will do the action.

General Rules


               There are 3 common structures used.
               Some main verbs can be used in several
               structures, others are specific to that structure.
               Causatives and permissives do not use
               subordinate clauses.
