THE CAUSATIVE

 

They focus on the subject of the sentence and the agent performing the action. Let's go back to the previous example: “I have my hair cut every month”

Take note of its structure:

have + complement + participle

The complete sentence structure would be as follows:

Subject + Causative verb + Object + Verb

Let's use another example to conjugate it: “I have/get my car repaired”. The conjugation is very simple, you have to conjugate the causative verb and leave the other verb in the participle:

Present Simple I have/get my car repaired

Past Simple I had/got my car repaired

Present Continuous I am having/getting my car repaired

Past Continuous I was having/getting my car repaired

Present Perfect I have had/got my car repaired

Past Perfect I had had/got my car repaired

Future Simple I will have/get my car repaired

Future Continuous I will be having/getting my car repaired

Examples of causative sentences

Maria can't go to the beach today because she is having her car repaired

Subject + Causative verb + Object + Participle

Maria + is having + her car + repaired

The door is closed but I will have the janitor open it for you

Subject + Causative verb + Agent + Infinitive verb + Object

I + will have + the janitor + open + it

We cannot go to Laura's place because she is having her apartment de ella painted

Subject + Causative verb + Object + Participle

She + is having + her apartment de ella + painted

Be careful and leave your shoes outside. I got the floor cleaned last week.

Subject + Causative verb + Object + Participle

I + am getting + the floor + cleaned

It can be the object of a verb:

They can be the complements of a subject.

  A nominal clause can be the object of a preposition.

It can be the complement of an adjective.

Omission of relative pronouns:

As we have already seen, nominal clauses are usually preceded by one of the relative pronouns, and, except for the pronoun that, they can be omitted to indicate a nominal clause:

My friends didn't know that I could ride a bike. correct

My friends didn't know I could ride a bike. incorrect

Order in nominal clauses

For nominal clauses, the order established for affirmations and denials must be respected, even when it is an interrogative sentence.

Incorrect: Do you know what time is it? (Do you know what time it is?)

Correct: Do you know what time it is? (Do you know what time it is?)

Mamá: deberías ir a cepillarte los dientes ahora mismo, haré una cita con el dentista para mañana.

Esas fueron las palabras de mi mamá, en el dentista al día siguiente, el dentista me dijo que tenía serios problemas con mis dientes, tenía dientes flojos, otros dientes estaban rotos y tenía caries, necesitaba una limpieza urgente.

Dentista: tiene algunos dientes realmente enfermos, haremos una limpieza y arreglaremos sus dientes rotos y limpiaremos sus dientes para eliminar las caries.
