The causative construction in English is used to describe situations where someone causes another person to do something for them or to have something done for them.

There are two main causative verbs: "have" and "get". "Make" suggests a stronger push, showing force. The choice depends on the context and the intention of the subject.

GET:

It refers to arranging for someone to do something or causing something to happen. It usually carries a milder or friendlier tone.

Form: GET + Object + V3

Example: He got his car fixed.

HAVE:

Similar to "get", but with the added nuance of having control over someone or something. It often means using paid or personal help.

Form: HAVE + Object + V3

Example: She had her hair cut.

MAKE:

It implies forcing someone to do something. The subject has an influence to make someone else do something, often with a negative or forceful connotation.

Form: MAKE + Object + base form of the Verb

Example: She makes her children do their homework.
