S + (have/has/had) + object + V3

 She had her bone fixed.


 John had his car washed.

 Mary will have her homework prepared.
MAKE Active :

‘Make’ is stronger than ‘have/get’. It constitutes S + (make/makes/ made) + agent + action verb (bare infinitive) + object
only one structure as it does not take anything
‘passive’ as its object. This means that you  My mother made me wash the dishes every day.

something/action for you.  Robert made me beat that little child.
 He always makes me do his work.
 Mary will make me prepare her homework.
 I made him wash my car.
 He makes me laugh whenever I am down.

LET Active :

‘Let’ means ‘allow/permit’ but the use of ‘let’ in the S + (let/lets) + agent + action verb (bare infinitive) + object
sentence is different from these words. This means
that you allow ( = let, give permission to do  Hannah let the teacher take her book.
something) someone to do something or you allow  My father lets me drive his new car.
something to happen.  Robert let me escape the prison.
 Let me go. (Subject ‘you’ is hidden)
 The teacher let the students discuss among themselves.
 I let him drive my car.
 Let’s (let us) laugh and live a happy life.

you’d like them to do something) them to do it
 John got Alex to clean the bedroom.
(Convince/encourage someone to do something).
 He always gets me to do his work.
 Mary will get Alex to prepare her homework.

S + (permit/allow) + agent + action verb (infinitive) + object

 My school does not permit the students to wear flip flops.


 John allowed him to drive his car.
 He always allows him to do that.
 The teacher allowed me to sit for the exams.

FORCE/REQUIRE Active :

S + (force/require) + agent + action verb (infinitive) + object

 The law requires everyone to wear a seatbelt in the car.


HELP S + (help/helps/helped) + agent + base form of verb + object

This means that you help ( = assist) someone (to) do  He helped me carry the boxes.
something. This structure is most often used without  Reading before bed helps me relax.
‘to’. ‘Help’ is not actually a causative verb either
but is generally regarded as a causative verb because
of its grammatical use in a sentence. It has two
structures.
S + (help/helps/helped) + agent + infinitive + object

 He helped me to carry the boxes.


 Reading before bed helps me to relax.
CONDITIONAL CLAUSE

Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened, and what we wish would happen.
The conditional sentence consists of two clauses. The if-clause (which is a condition) and the main clause (which is a result). There are
two ways of ordering a conditional sentence :
Condition, + Result (with a comma after the condition)
or
Result + Condition (without a comma)

Conditional If Clause Main Clause


Sentence Usage (Condition) (Result)
Type + +

Type 0 Facts which are generally true or scientific

NOTE :

In many negative conditional sentences, there is an equivalent sentence construction using "unless" instead of "if".

FUTURE TENSE
There are a number of different ways of referring to the future in English. It is important to remember that we are expressing more than simply
the time of the action or event. Obviously, any 'future' tense will always refer to a time 'later than now', but it may also express our attitude to the
future event.
