When you say "My father let me drive his car", the
causative verb is indicating permission. If you say
My father made me drive his car it means that he
forced me to do it; in "My father helped me drive
his car" it indicates only help; in "My father gave
me instructions to drive is car", the most
appropriate causative verb for this sentence would
"to have", as in "My father had me drive his car"; in
"My father convinced me to drive his car" perhaps
a better way to say it using a causative verb would
be "My father got me to drive his car". The
sentence that paraphrases the best without using a
causative verb is "My father allowed me to drive
his car", since let and "allow" mean "to give
permission to something".

Translation only makes learners more confused;
the verbs are used in texts, but mostly in oral
speech; the tense they are being used is
unimportant; learners understand their importance,
but they avoid using them, preferring verbs that are
similar to the ones used in L1.

Causative verbs, a fascinating aspect of language,
empower us to convey the idea of influencing or
causing actions to occur. Considering the form of

fixed.

Gabarito Comentado
When using the causative form, the structure is as
follows: "have + object +past participle".
Therefore, the utterance cannot be completed with
"to fix", "fixing", "fixes" or be fixed, since none of
them is past participle. The only possible answer is
"fixed".

The intricacies of language often reveal themselves in
the subtle nuances and shades of meaning carried by
individual words and expressions. Within this tapestry,
delexical verbs stand out as intriguing elements that
infuse verbs with specific functions or qualities.
Considering the verb "to give", as a delexical verb,
what is the difference between "She gave a giggle" and
"She giggled"?
"Giggle" cannot be used in the past.
"Giving a giggle" means trying not to laugh;
"giggled" means that she actually laughed.
C
D
E
"Giving a giggle" means "smiling"; "giggled"
means "to laugh".
"Giving a giggle" means the laughter did not
take long; "She giggled" means that the action
was longer.
"Giving a giggle" means to laugh hard;
"giggled" means "to frown".

Gabarito Comentado
The verb "to giggle" can be used in the past;
"giving a giggle" does not mean "trying not to
laugh", "smiling" or "to laugh hard". It actually
means a short laugh, whilst "giggle" means that the
laughter was longer. Therefore, even though the
meanings are somewhat similar, resorting to a
delexical verb slightly alters the meaning
conveyed.

encounter a diverse array of linguistic challenges, and
among these, delexical verbs stand out as intriguing

Learners have little difficulty with the verbs
"make", "have", "do" and "give", although they are
still not considered easy. However, the verb "to
get" has so many options with so many different
meanings that it is considered the most difficult
one.

According to delexical verbs, which of the sentences
used it?
I think you should leave.
I think you should stop.
I think you should go home.
I think you should stay.

Gabarito Comentado
Feedback: "Leave", "stop", "stay" and "abandon
the place" are complete verbs that do not need
another word to have a meaning. However, "go
home" uses the verb "to go" and "home" that,
together, mean "go back to where you live". That is
a delexical verb.

In "Fred fixed my computer" the agent is not
omitted; "My computer is being fixed" is in the
present continuous, while the original sentence is
in the past; "Fred will fix my computer" shows the
agent and is in the future; "My computer was
fixed" omits the agent but does not use causative
form; "I had my computer fixed" is using causative
verb in the same tense as the sentence given,  and
the agent, Fred, is omitted.

Causative verbs add a layer of complexity to language
by expressing the idea of causing something to
happen, often involving one person influencing another
to perform an action. Since causative verbs cause
things to happen, what is the difference between "I
have taken my photographs" and "I have my
photographs taken"?
Both of them mean that I have taken the
photos.
In the first one, someone else took the photos
and in the second one I took the photos
myself.
The first one is in the simple past and the
second one is present perfect.
Both use different causative verbs.
The first one means that you took the photos
yourself, the second one means that someone
else took the photos for you.

Both of them havedifferent meanings, they are not
the same. The first sentence is not using the
simple past; they use the same verb; the difference

Gabarito Comentado
When learners do not understand the verb, it is ok
to look it up in the dictionary; doing exercises at
home is a good way to get more comfortable with
these verbs; working with texts is a great way to
learn, since you can see the verbs contextualized;
trying to use the verbs in written and spoken
speech is a valid and important way to learn and
use those verbs; translating word for word will
cause problems because the translation will most
likely be wrong and create misunderstandings.
