A QUICK RECAP OF THIS LESSON:
❑ The causative construction is used when the subject of the sentence is making someone else do the action instead of performing the action himself.
❑ A causative sentence has a subject, the verb faire conjugated to match the subject, the verb of the action being done (in infinitive form), and the receiver of the action/agent of the action (or both).
❑ There are three types of construction for the causative and all three have different syntaxes: receiver-only, agent-only, and both receiver and agent.
