Verbi causativi in inglese

Make, Let, Have, e Get si chiamano verbi “causativi” in inglese perché esprimono un’azione che non viene dal soggetto, bensi fatta compiere ad altri.

Make, Let, Have, Help e Get + termine in forma base  si chiamano verbi causativi perché esprimono un’azione non compiuta dal soggetto, bensi fatta compiere ad altri.

Questo è un argomento che può essere affrontato nelle lezioni di inglese online.

Vediamo in primo luogo un esempio in italiano:

Faccio venire mio famigliare (io “causo” il fatto che mio zio viene)

My mom made me study (non e’ mia mamma, bensi io che ho studiato. Mia madre ha causato il evento che io abbia studiato.

I verbi causativi in inglese sono sempre seguiti dal complemento oggetto e dal verbo alla forma base.

Quindi ricordatevi sempre i pronomi personali oggetto e non mettete mai il to.

She made me work hard!

My teachers made us write an essay on the last day of school

Vediamo in questa tabella la sfumatura di significato dei vari verbi causativi

Make + oggetto + base form
