English Grammar: The Causative Structure

[@rakeshkumarmadella7955]

I am just awe stuck... I thought I new everything in english,however, by looking at your videos I am flabbergasted. English is truly pedantic language. Thank you so much! Adam, I have an awesome superior vocab.. but when it comes to my writing skills I am very poor. I want to write the way i speak..write with power pack words.

[@nickrobinson2023]

Not be repetitive, as all I hear is praise, and well-earned at that. Thanks for your effort and dedication.

[@saraha8806]

I made a presentation on Causative Verbs, to explain its structure (active and passive with examples) to my ESOL Class colleagues. And your both videos equally helped me to understand and to thoroughly explain to others. Thank you very much, Adam, you really explained it very well.

[@prashantmishra1994]

Hi Adam! It's great to have your another great video.That's because,your video makes us learn everything from different perspective.

[@zeynepdeymez7254]

Hi, Adam. I m from Turkey. We use your some videos in our English lessons. I want to thank you so so so much. ☺️☺️

[@rajkamalsingh7460]

I loved the way you got to the minute detail,this time i appreciated well

[@Денис-ж3ф5р]

I can use the structures, but I didn’t know what they are called; and I explained it to myself in another way. Now I am kinda jumbled. Such a complex explanation to me.

[@khybermomand4061]

Thank you so much Adam! God bless you always!

[@eduardogonzaleznieto729]

Question: but rather reinforce or to reinfoce according to parallel structure teacher ?

[@larissamariaschroeder3521]

I"d love to learn how to use the verb to see + infinitive and gerund forms. I saw that others verbs can be used this way: hear, watch, see..... Thanks a lot.

[@Mohammad-zv6rl]

The best of best Maser Adam is teaching with honesty

[@asz3341]

This the first time someone had to explain this to me, thanks alot. Though it was certainly difficult to get it.

[@alanortuno813]

What an incredible lesson! You´re the best!

[@eduardoaguilar4854]

Teacher great information related cv for writing, but do we apply this information to speak? Thank you teacher GOOD JOB.

[@ahmedsaleh4082]

Thank you very much Adam . when does the fourth E-Book come out ?

[@jcr1138]

Very complete explanation!

[@raminhosseinalizadeh250]

I've recently been following your lessons adam. You are the best. Thanks for sharing your information with us.

[@Run.Ran.Run1]

Interesting, as always. However, it's CEOs, not CEO's. The only time the apostrophe is used with plurals is when the abbreviation is one letter, or with the expression "do's and don'ts"

[@WritetotheTop]

Yes, you're right. That's a typo. Good eye.

[@hulkhogan8190]

[@hulkhogan8190]

Hello sir please make a video on using correct tense as soon as possible

[@haseebtariq8297]

can you kindly make a smiple video how to put complex strutre in writing because that's trouble for us we just need to put in exam

[@belloalegria]

I've just learnt a new phrase "brimming with sth(usually emotions or something intangible), and I read the example sentence as: " His recent triumphs have left the tennis ace brimming (over) with (= full of) confidence and energy." and I made one as " All of your lessons on this channel have left me brimming with knowledge of English grammar." Is my sentence correct? It seems to me that "to leave" is also a causative verb and it is like the other verbs "consider, make, proclaim, keep, find". They all have the structure as " Verb + Object + Object Complement". Am I right? Thank you Adam.

[@ayyooshshsh1336]

Very nice Adam Thanks you

[@chadegold]

Adam, thank you so much for sharing this interesting knowledge. I have some questions based on this structure. The Causative Structure is a simple sentence, right? Like your example: The Director had his staff work over the holiday. If so, what is the role of the phrase 'work over the holiday'? Is it an object complement for 'his staff' or adverbial phrase for the verb 'had' or adverbial complement for the verb 'had'?

I can't download writing answer sheets from the website, I always get "Page not found"

[@Islam_makes_Peaceful_soul]

Please can you add vedios with more examples!!

[@Mitsohumohashi]

Event hough I learned about the causative... I'm still learning and that's great, thanks Adam. I have just a question for you. When you use this example:"Should the board decide to have its members commit to this policy they may risk a mutiny.". It sounds like a question. However it's not in this case because there is the complement "they may risk a mutiny".Is that correct? I just want to confirm it, let's suppose I write this :"Should the board decide to have its members commit to this policy?". I should add a question mark because it's a question, isn't it? I'd like to have your opinion about that. Thanks for taking the time to read.

[@hesamvazifedan3248]

This is quite late but that’s not a question, it’s basically a first conditional sentence being inverted to sound more formal. Search inversion on KZbin and you’ll get it.

[@naeemrind1776]

Can you please make a video on how to recognize Phrases and clauses in long sentences with many commas like the ones below. 1. One of these days, maybe soon, this trade war is going to end. 2. It will be a truly multipolar world, with Asia as one of its most domi-nant regions. 3. . Since the 2008 global financial crisis, emerging Asia’s combined GDP has grown 188%, versus 19% in the U.S. and 13% in the EU, according to the IMF. 4. Asia already has more billionaires, at 827, than second-place U.S. at 585, according to the 2018 Forbes billionaires list. 5. Without any grand design or pretense of shared values, Asia has become one of the world’s most economically integrated regions, second only to Europe, despite lacking a regional free trade agreement.

Thank you so much for it really it is so useful and it helps

[@mohammadaminhajsadeghi3774]

Hi Adam, thanks a lot for your interesting video. i have a question and it would be really appreciated if you could help me. consider below sentences "I had the mechanic fix my car last night." now regarding your video, are both sentence structures correct? 1) the mechanic was had fix my car last night. 2) the mechanic was had my car fixed last night. do both above sentences make sense?

[@Mitsohumohashi]

Wouldn't it be more correct to use some sentences like :I was asked to have the mechanic fix my car last night.;I was asked to have the car fixed (by the mechanic) last night.". It sounds better to me, because the verb "have"? In these cases "have" doesn't sound like a natural passive verb for the causative. Adam spoke about it in his video, go around 10:15. You'll see that the structure you used was wrong. Good luck with that!

[@balochsajjadkhan8831]

Thanks.

[@thebasiclife4319]

This is the way i speak in english ,i dont use the infinitive sometimes to connect ideas

[@rakeshkumarmadella7955]

Thank you so much sir

[@hananalshanteer9228]

Amazing

[@Денис-ж3ф5р]

Here is a simple rule for beginners. Neve use “to” after let as well as make. I am confident it has something to do with the topic, hasn’t it ?

[@jcr1138]

Not at all. It is about verb patterns.

[@periklisgewrgiou5327]

thank you so much

[@slavak.2544]

Why is it in one sentence "CNN" and in another "by CNN"? Is there mistake or not?

[@abhirockzzzz2710]
