Hello 2016! WELCOME regular followers of English Outside the Box and WELCOME to English Outside the Box if you are just joining. 2016 is going to be a great year, full ofso much English. I will be making some changes, don’t worry it will be for the better, as well as sharing some exciting new projects. All of this means more opportunities to teach you English. YES!
Today is an exciting day, for a few reasons.
- It’s the very first post of 2016.
- It’s the very first post of my new blog schedule
- This post will help you understand a very common error for non-English speakers
- After today, you’ll speak better, more confidently, and best of all Use Better Grammar. (<–p.s…. that’s the name of my grammar course)
Understanding causative verbs in English, or more specifically the verbs make, have, let, help, and get, will help you explain and talk about situations where the verbs are not just done by the subject of the sentence. Remember, in English, the active structure (which is most commonly used) is when we have a SUBJECT doing an ACTION (verb).
