Causative Verbs

កិរិយាសព្ទបញ្ជា (ប្រើគេឱ្យធ្វើអ្វីមួយ)

We use causative verbs when we do not perform the action ourselves. Instead, we cause it to happen by asking, forcing, or paying someone else.

យើងប្រើកិរិយាសព្ទទាំងនេះ នៅពេលដែលយើងមិនបានធ្វើសកម្មភាពនោះដោយខ្លួនឯង ផ្ទុយទៅវិញ យើងពឹង បញ្ជា ឬជួលអ្នកផ្សេងឱ្យធ្វើ។
⚖️

Make, Let, Help

ការបង្ខំ, ការអនុញ្ញាត, ការជួយ
Subject + make/let/help + Person + Base Verb (V1)

Have/Get something done (រៀបចំឱ្យគេធ្វើអ្វីមួយឱ្យយើង)
have/get + Object (Thing) + V3
Use this when the result is important, but WHO did it is obvious or unknown (like a barber or mechanic).

The "To" Trap! ⚠️

Know when to use "TO"!

(ប្រយ័ត្នច្រឡំ! Make, Let, Have មិនប្រើ "to" ទេ ប៉ុន្តែ Get ត្រូវតែប្រើ "to" ពេលបញ្ជាក់ពីមនុស្ស!)

He made me cry. ✔️

Hi Nita! In the passive structure, they are almost exactly the same! "Get" is slightly more informal and very common in spoken English, while "Have" is a bit more formal. Both are perfectly correct! 🚗✨

Yes! With "help", both "help me carry" (Base Verb) and "help me to carry" (Infinitive) are correct. However, dropping the "to" is much more common in modern English! 📦
