Causative Verb
Causative verb menunjukkan seseorang/sesuatu secara tidak langsung
bertanggung jawab terhadap sebuah tindakan. Subjek tidak melakukan tindakan itu
sendiri, tetapi justru menyebabkan seseorang/sesuatu yang lain melakukannya.
Contoh:
- Yesterday I had my hair cut.
Pembicara pada kalimat diatas tidak memotong sendiri rambutnya, tetapi
justru membuat orang lain melakukannya - Saya “menyebabkan” mereka memotong
rambut saya.
·
Have
Have merupakan causative verb yang umum. Ketimbang melakukan sesuatu
dengan diri kita sendiri, kita “menyuruh” orang yang lain untuk melakukannya.
Bentuknya sebagai berikut:
Kata kerja “to have” + objek + past participle (verb 3).
Contoh:
1.
I had my jacket cleaned yesterday.
2.
Did you have your computer fixed?
Terkadang kita menggunakan have sebagai causative verb
ketika kita ingin melakukan tindakan oleh diri kita sendiri.
Contoh:
1.
When will the report be ready? I’ll do it by tomorrow morning.
2.
When will the report be ready? I’ll have it done by
tomorrow morning.
Dengan menggunakan causative, kalimat ke-dua diatas mengalihkan perhatian
dari pelaku tindakan, dan lebih memberikan perhatian kepada tindakan yang
sedang dilakukan. Ini kedengaran sopan dan profesional.
·
Get
Get sering digunakan ketimbang have.
Contoh:
1. I got my computer fixed
- I had my computer fixed. Kedua kalimat ini maknanya sama.
2. I got my jacket
cleaned. - I had my jacket cleaned. Kedua kalimat ini maknanya sama.
Causative verbs sering digunakan bersama dengan pengalaman-pengalaman
negatif. Pada situasi-situasi ini lebih umum menggunakan have.
Contoh:
1. I had my wallet
stolen. (Saya sebenarnya tidak menyebabkan dompet saya dicuri - seseorang
mencuri dompet saya dariku)
2. She had her window
smashed.
·
Let
Let digunakan untuk membolehkan seseorang melakukan sesuatu.
Bentuknya adalah let + orang + verb. Contoh:
1. John let me
drive his new car.
2. Will your
parents let you go to the party?
3. I don’t know if my
boss will let me take the day off.
·
Make
Make digunakan untuk memaksa seseorang melakukan sesuatu.
Bentuknya adalah make + orang + verb.
Contoh:
1.

2. Did somebody make
you wear that ugly hat?
3.
