CAUSATIVE HAVE and QUESTION TAGS
CAUSATIVE
HAVE
Form
have + object + verb 3 past participle - have something done
have + object + infinitive - have someone do something
Meaning
·
We use causative when arranging for someone to
do something for us.
Example :
“They had their car repaired.“
“They arranged for someone to repair it.“
“They repaired their car “
“They did it themselves.“
“I had my hair cut yesterday.“
“I went to the hairdresser.“
“I cut my hair yesterday.“
“I cut it myself.“
·
We use causative when someone does something to
us.
Example :
“Bill had his money stolen.“
“She had her house painted.”
·
We can use have someone do something to talk
about giving instructions or orders (more common in American English).
Example :
“I had my assistant type the report.”
“I'll have my lawyer look into it.”
Additional
points
Get is possible instead of have, usually in informal spoken
English.
“I'm going to get my
car fixed tomorrow.“
“John is going to get
his letter posted this afternoon.”
QUESTION
TAGS
We use tags in spoken English but not in formal written
English.
They are not really questions but are a way of asking the
other person to make a comment and so keep the conversation open.
Making a tag is very mechanical. To make a tag, use the
first auxiliary. If there is no auxiliary, use do, does or did. With a positive
sentence, make a negative tag and with a negative sentence, make a positive
tag.
·
Positive sentence
“It's beautiful, isn't it?“
“He has been, hasn't he?“
“You can, can't you?“
“It must be, mustn't it?“
“You know him, don’t you?“
“He finished it, didn't he?“
“He will come, won't he?“
·
Negatif Sentence
“It isn't very good, is it?”
“It hasn't rained, has it?”
“It can't be, can it?”
“Jenny doesn't know James, does she?”
“They didn't leave, did they?”
“He won’t do it, will he?”
Notice these:
“There isn't an ATM
here, is there?”
“Let's have a cup of
coffee, shall we?”
To reply, use the same auxiliary:
“It's beautiful, isn't
it?” ~ “Yes, it is. I think it's
fabulous.”
“It isn't very good,
is it?” ~ “No, it isn't. In fact,
it's terrible.”
The rules are very simple and mechanical, in order
to use them easily in conversation, they have to be automatic. So you need to
hear and practice them very often.
·
Although the negative word not is not in the
sentence, the sentence can be negative. Then we use the positive question tag.
“He never goes out with his dog, does he?”
·
If have is a main verb in the sentence and
refers to states, there are two possible sentences – We have a car, _____?
“We have a car, haven't we?” (mostly British English)
“We have a car, don't we?” (mostly American English)
·
Use will/would with imperatives (Simple
Present).
“Open the window, will you?”
“Open the window, would you?”
“Don't open your books, will you?”
·
We use won't with a polite request.
“Open the window, won't you?”
·
We use shall after Let's.
“Let's take the next bus, shall we?”
·
Auxiliary must
“We must be at home at 8 pm, mustn't we?”
- “Yes, we must.”
- “No, we needn't.”
