Pengertian Causative Verb ( Kata Kerja Kausatif )

Causative Verb adalah kata kerja utama atau pokok yang digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa seseorang menyuruh atau menyebabkan orang lain melakukan sesuatu , atau bisa juga menunjukkan bahwa seseorang/sesuatu secara tidak langsung bertanggung jawab terhadap sebuah tindakan.
Causative dapat dibagi menjadi 6 yaitu :
Causative Have , Causative Make , Causative Let , Causative Help , Causative Want ,dan  Causative Get.

Contoh :

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:

- I had my jacket cleaned yesterday.
- Did you have your computer fixed?

Let

Let digunakan untuk membolehkan seseorang melakukan sesuatu.

Bentuknya adalah let + orang + verb. Contoh:

• John let me drive his new car.
• Will your parents let you go to the party?
• 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:

• My teacher made me apologize for what I had said.
• Did somebody make you wear that ugly hat?
• She made her children do their homework.

Get

Get Pengertiannya adalah "untuk memastikan bahwa sesuatu telah dikerjakan oleh seseorang."
Bentuk kalimatnya [get + person + to + verb].
Contoh:

·         Susie got her son to take the medicine even though it tasted terrible.

·         How can parents get their children to read more?

·         The government TV commercials are trying to get people to stop smoking.

  HELP

Help juga bukanlah betul-betul sebuah causative verb, tapi umumnya dianggap sebagai causative verbs daalm buku-buku grammar. Help biasanya diikuti oleh kata kerja pertama murni, tapi dapat di ikuti oleh to infinitive pada beberapa kasus. Help berarti membantu atau menolong.

Rumus: subject + help + complement + [kata kerja pertama murni]/[to infinitive]

Contoh:

·         Muh. Hasan basri helped Mutia Izza wash his dishes.

·         Muh. Hasan basri helped Mutia Izza to wash his dishes.
