Pemahaman Penggunaan Causative Verb
10 min read
Causative verb adalah kata kerja yang dipakai untuk menawarkan jikalau subjek tidak bertanggung jawab eksklusif terhadap agresi yang terjadi, melainkan seseorang atau sesuatu yang lain yang melaksanakan aksi tersebut. Contohnya yakni : “I had my hair cut”. Subjek I pada kalimat tersebut tidak memangkas rambutnya sendiri tetapi justru menciptakan orang lain yang melakukannya. Umumnya ada empat kata kerja causative verb yang sering digunakan, adalah have, get, let, dan make.
