Grammar (6): Causative form










1)  Το «causative» σημαίνει πώς κάποιος άλλος εκτός από εμάς κάνει κάτι για λογαριασμό μας. Επομένως κάνουμε κάποια συμφωνία με κάποιον επαγγελματία, ειδικό  (ή και άλλον άνθρωπο) να κάνει κάτι για εμάς, διότι εμείς το βρίσκουμε δύσκολο, αδύνατο ή απλά δεν μπορούμε να το κάνουμε.
 a)     She’s having her house painted. (Θα της βάψουν το σπίτι).
b)    We’ve had the carpets cleaned. (Μας πλύνανε τα χαλιά).
c)     They’ll be having their dinner served at half past eight. (Θα τους σερβίρουν το δείπνο στις 20:30).
d)    We’ve been having our garden remodeled. (Μας ανασχεδιάζουν τον κήπο).

2)   Εάν θέλουμε να μάθουμε ποιος μας κάνει την εξυπηρέτηση ή εργασία τότε χρησιμοποιούμε ποιητικό αίτιο (by agent).

a)     He’s having his tattoo done by one of the best experts in the city.
b)    Every Saturday we have our car cleaned by a local lad in the village.
c)     She had had her nails done before her hair was cut by Sassoon.

3)    Χρησιμοποιούμε το «causative form» για να μιλήσουμε για κακές εμπειρίες ή και ατυχίες.
 a)     They’ve had their suitcases stolen at the airport. (Τους κλέψανε τις βαλίτσες στο αεροδρόμιο).
b)    We’ve had our electricity cut off all day. (Μας είχανε κόψει το ηλεκτρικό, όλη την ημέρα).
c)     I had my car lights smashed by vandals. (Μου σπάσανε τα τζάμια βάνδαλοι).
d)    He had his garden destroyed by the storm. (Του καταστράφηκε ο κήπος από την καταιγίδα).

4)    Υπάρχουν τρία ρήματα που θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε στο «causative»: HAVE, GET & MAKE. Ας δούμε τις διαφορές
a)     He has the lawn mown every weekend by his son. (Δεν το κάνει ο ίδιος αλλά ο γιός του.)
HAVE + OBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE / μτχ. Αορίστου

b)    He got his son to mow the lawn for him. (Έπεισε τον γιό του να το κάνει.)
GET + OBJECT + TO INFINITIVE / έναρθρο απαρέμφατο

c)     He got the lawn mown by his son. (Του ζήτησε να το κάνει για λογαριασμό του.)
GET + OBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE / μτχ. αορίστου

d)    He made his son mow the lawn. (Επέμεινε εντόνως ή διέταξε τον γιό του να το κάνει.)
MAKE + OBJECT + BARE INFINITIVE / γυμνό απαρέμφατο

5)   Παρόλο που το  HAVE και το MAKE είναι κοντά εννοιολογικά δεν είναι ταυτόσημα, οπότε προσοχή!  
a)     She has her son’s bedroom cleaned. (Βάζει κάποιον να καθαρίσει το δωμάτιο του γιού της).
b)    She made her son clean his bedroom. (Ανάγκασε τον γιό της να καθαρίσει το δωμάτιο του).

6)   Το  GET  θεωρείται ανεπίσημο, το χρησιμοποιούμε συνήθως όταν μιλάμε και στις περιπτώσεις που το υποκείμενο κάνει την πράξη:

a)     They always get their homework done on time. (Πάντα τελειώνουν τα διαβάσματα τους στην ώρα τους).
b)    He got the lawn mown before lunch. (Έκοψε το γρασίδι  πριν το μεσημεριανό).
