English Causative Verbs - MAKE, LET, HAVE and more. Part One.

When we want to indicate that one thing causes another, we often use a causative verb. They're jolly handy, but not always easy to use. There's a lot to cover so this is a two part lesson. In this first video we'll see lots of examples and check the meanings of the most common causative verbs (make, let, and have).
Causative verbs follow different structures and the most common ones are a bit strange. So in our next video we dive into the grammar so you know the patterns to follow to use causative verbs correctly.
Here's the link to part two. • English Causative Verb...

Thank you so much for your video! I'd like to ask for some advice about the following: Have you installed the necessary programs to make/let/allow your new laptop operate? What had I better say? Are all options correct? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@SimpleEnglishVideos]

Hi Marco. This is Jay writing back to you. All three of those choices work, but I would say, "Have you installed the necessary programs to allow your new laptop to operator properly." So 'programmes' is perfectly OK in British English, but 'programs' is American English :-) And the preposition 'to' before 'operate' is necessary, and i added the adverb 'properly' to further explain what I was asking. Take good care and thanks for watching our videos.

Bijayarashmi, I would have said. "I had the mechanic fix my car." So notice the article in front of the noun 'mechanic' and the tense change (fix not fixed).

i have the dog walker taken carter out or i have the dog walker take carter out , which one is correct. i hope i will get the answer soon

Strictly speaking, only "I have the dog walker take Carter out..." is grammatically correct, but from a natural speech point of view it probably should read something like "I have the dog walker take Carter out three times a day."
