Pengertian
Causative Verb
Ketika melihat seorang
teman telah memotong rambutnya, pertanyaan mana yang lebih tepat kita utarakan?
"When did you cut your hair?" atau "When did you have your hair
cut?". Begitu juga jawabannya, mana yang lebih tepat, "I cut my hair
yesterday." atau "I had it cut yesterday."?
Kedua bentuk
pertanyaan dan jawaban tersebut sebenarnya memiliki perbedaan makna yang sangat
mendasar "When did you cut your hair?" ~ "I cut my hair
yesterday." sebenarnya bermakna memotong rambut kita sendiri tanpa bantuan
orang lain. Jika kita menyuruh orang lain untuk melakukan sesuatu (misal:
memotong rambut kita), akan lebih tepat jika kita mengatakan "When did you
have your hair cut?" ~ I had it cut yesterday." Inilah yang disebut
causative verb.
