Causative Verbs (have, make, help, get)
Causative verbs show that the subject causes someone else to do something — they don't do it themselves.
I had the barber cut my hair.
She made him apologise.
They got the car repaired.
He helped me carry the bags.
Patterns: have/make/help + person + base verb; get + person + to + verb; have/get + thing + past participle (have my hair cut).
Common mistake: Wrong form after the causative: "She made him to clean" → "She made him clean" (no "to" after make/have/let).
