Causative Verbs and Relative Pronouns

A. Causative Verbs

     Let / Make / Have / Get

     The following is a mini-tutorial on the use of the causative verbs "let," "make," "have," and          "get." After you have studied the tutorial, complete the associated exercises. If you already          know how to use these verbs, you can skip the explanation and go directly to the exercises.

   1. Let

       Formula

             [let + person + verb]

       Use

       This construction means "to allow someone to do something."

       Examples:

• John let me drive his new car.
• Will your parents let you go to the party?
• I don't know if my boss will let me take the day off.

    2. Make

        Formula

                     [make + person + verb]

       Use

       This construction means "to force someone to do something."

       Examples:

• My teacher made me apologize for what I had said.
• Did somebody make you wear that ugly hat?
• She made her children do their homework.

    3. Have

        Formula

                [have + person + verb]

        Use

        This construction means "to give someone the responsibility to do something."

        Examples:

• Dr. Smith had his nurse take the patient's temperature.
• Please have your secretary fax me the information.
• I had the mechanic check the brakes.

      4. Get

          Formula :

                 [get + person + to + verb]

          Use :

          This construction usually means "to convince to do something" or "to trick someone into              doing something."

           Examples:

• Susie got her son to take the medicine even though it tasted terrible.
• How can parents get their children to read more?
• The government TV commercials are trying to get people to stop smoking.

         Get vs. Have

        Sometimes "get someone to do something" is interchangeable with "have someone do              something," but these expressions do not mean exactly the same thing.

         Examples:

• I got the mechanic to check my brakes.
  At first the mechanic didn't think it was necessary, but I convinced him to check the brakes.
• I had the mechanic check my brakes.
  I asked the mechanic to check the brakes

B. Relative Pronouns

     That / Who / Which

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that its relative clause modifies. Here is an example:

• The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.

In the above example, "who":

• relates to "The person", which "who phoned me last night" modifies
• introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night"

There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that

Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. That can be used for things and people only in defining relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information).

 We use who and whom for people, and which for things.

Or we can use that for people or things.

We use relative pronouns:

Subject	Object	Possessive
who	who(m)	whose
which	which	whose
that	that

• after a noun, to make it clear which person or thing we are talking about:

        Examples :

             the house that Jack built

             the woman who discovered radium

             an eight-year-old boy who attempted to rob a sweet shop

• to tell us more about a person or thing:

        Examples :

             My mother, who was born overseas, has always been a great traveller.

             Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired.

             We had fish and chips, which is my favourite meal.

     But we do not use that as a subject in this kind of relative clause.

     We use whose as the possessive form of who:

          Examples :

        This is George, whose brother went to school with me.

     We sometimes use whom as the object of a verb or preposition:

           Examples :

                    This is George, whom you met at our house last year.

                    This is George’s brother, with whom I went to school.

      But nowadays we normally use who:

            Examples :

                    This is George, who you met at our house last year.

                    This is George’s brother, who I went to school with.

      When whom or which have a preposition the preposition can come at the beginning of          the clause...

             Examples :

                     I had an uncle in Germany, from who[m] I inherited a bit of money.

                     We bought a chainsaw, with which we cut up all the wood.

      … or at the end of the clause:

                    I had an uncle in Germany who[m] I inherited a bit of money from.

                    We bought a chainsaw, which we cut all the wood up with.

        We can use that at the beginning of the clause:

               Examples :

                      I had an uncle in Germany that I inherited a bit of money from.

                      We bought a chainsaw that we cut all the wood up with.
