GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Causative Verbs (5-6 minutes) ( 使役動詞 ) Causative verbs express the idea that the subject of the sentence is causing someone or something else to do an action. Some of these verbs need the word "to" while others do not. ( 使役動詞は文の主語が人や物に行動を起こさせるという考えを表します使役動詞の中には to 不定詞の形をとるものもあります ) Some of the most commonly used causative verbs are: ask, command, force, get, have, let, make, remind, require, order, and urge. ( 一般的によく用いられる使役動詞は ask command force get have let make remind require order urge などです ) Remember: Causative verbs can either be in active or passive voice. When used in the active voice, the causative verb is followed by bare infinitives. While in passive voice, to -infinitive is used. ( 使役動詞は能動態でも受動態でも用いることができます能動態で用いる場合使役動詞の後には原形不定詞が続きます受動態で用いる場合 to 不定詞が続きます ) Page 3
