Pengertian Penggunaan Causative Verb

Causative verb yaitu kata kerja yang dipakai untuk mengatakan jikalau subjek tidak bertanggung jawab pribadi terhadap agresi yang terjadi, melainkan seseorang atau sesuatu yang lain yang melaksanakan agresi tersebut. Contohnya yaitu : “I had my hair cut”. Subjek I pada kalimat tersebut tidak memotong rambutnya sendiri tapi justru menciptakan orang lain yang melakukannya.
