In English, the causative form is used when we don't do someting ourselves, instead we arrange for someone else to do it for us.
There are two kinds of causative structure:
Active Causative
Passive Causative
A. Active Causative
Verbs that take active forms of causative are Let, Make, Have, and Get
Let
Let is used when we want to allow someone to do something.

Get vs. Have
Sometimes "get someone to do something" is interchangeable with "have someone do something," but these expressions do not mean exactly the same thing. Examples:
My friends get me to take the test.
It can be meant that I am actually not encouraged to take the test, but my friends convince me to take that.
My friends have me take the test.
It means that my friends ask me to take the quiz.
B. Passive Causative
There are two verbs generally used in the passive causative form; they are Have and Get. In addition, there is usually no agent in this form; it's not like in active form which has the agent. The action verb is in the past participle, and the object comes before it. The difference between have and get in this passive causative form is the same like in active causative form explained aboved.
Pattern
Subject
Have/Get
Object
Past Participle
Examples:
I ask someone to fix my car.
= I have my car fixed.
She asked John to wash the plate.
= She got the plate washed.
Exception
But, if the verb get followed by personal nouns, past participle can't be used in it. Instead, we must use to infinitive. So it will become just like in active causative form.
Pattern
Subject
Get
Object (personal noun)
to
verb
I get the house painted
I get John to paint the house.
In addition, modal auxiliary verbs may be used with the causative sentence structure. Most often, modals express a suggestion by the speaker, such as:
You should have your hair cut.
He should get his decision changed
She will have the food cooked.
Need & Want
Need and want may be used in passive causative sentences. In some cases, the passive causative verb (had/got) may be dropped altogether.??

Causative Quiz
Answer the following questions with the right answers!!
A participle is a verbal form that "participates" in the functions of both verbs and adjectives. The word "participle" means "participating." There are two kind of participle, they are:
Present Partciple
Past Participle
In English, the present participle form ends in "ing." When used as a verb, the present participle form shows continuing action. Examples:
"He is hiding behind the tree." (present tense, progressive)
''The baby was crying, and she felt sorry for it." (past tense, progressive)
"He will be waiting for us at the airport." (future tense, progressive)
"He has been waiting for us an hour." (present perfect tense, progressive)
"He had been waiting two hours when we arrived." (past perfect, progressive)
Notice that the tense is determined by the helping verbs used with the present participle form.
When used as an adjective, the present participle verbal modifies or explains a noun. Examples:
"She will do amazing work to prove she deserves the reward."
"Wena used to walk with his walking stick."
In English, the past participle form usually ends in "ed" or "en." When used as a verb, the past participle follows "have" or "has" to form the present perfect tense. Example:
"He has waited an hour already."
The past participle follows “had” to form the past perfect tense. Example:
"He had waited for two hours when his friends arrived.''
The past participle follows "will have" or "shall have" to form the future perfect tense. Example:
"He will have waited two hours by the time they arrive."
When used as an adjective, the past participle verbal explains or modifies a noun. Examples:
"Sinta was a married woman."
"The letter was placed in a hidden basket."
“Wena used to be such a frighten man when talking with a girl.”
That was the explanation about participle, present and past participle. And below is your chance to practice your knowledge about present and past participle. Take the quiz, good luck and enjoy!! :D
