UNIT 2 LESSON 3

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖WELCOME TO A NEW LESSON 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

👄In today's lesson we will talk about planning and organizing an event, about service vocabulary and passive causative👄

WHAT IS THE PASSIVE CAUSATIVE?

is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence causes someone else to perform an action on its behalf or under the influence of it. In other words, the subject does not perform the action directly, but rather causes it or requests that someone else perform it.

EX. She cleans the house.

Passive cusative: She has the house cleaned

It is very easy, we can continue practicing with other examples like this

She has a sad book read

y: Of course. I can definitely shorten the skirt for you. How much would you like it to be shortened?

x: Just about two inches should be perfect.

y: Great! I'll make sure to lengthen it correctly. By the way, I noticed your shoes need some repair. Would you like me to take them to the cobbler when I deliver your package?
