                                 A verb used to indicate that the subject is not directly responsible for the
                          action  that  occurs.  Instead  of  doing  the  action  themselves,  the  subject  causes,
                          makes, permits, or pays for another person or thing to do it. Common causative
                          verbs include have, get, let, make, and help.
                          1)  Cause/Make
                              To force or persuade someone to do something.

                              She made me laugh.
                          2)  Have
                              To  arrange  for  someone  to  do  something  for  you,  often  a  paid  service.
                              Example:
                              I had my documents translated.
                          3)  Get
                                     To persuade or arrange for someone to do something for you (less
                              formal than have). Example: “I’ll get my hair cut next week.”
                          4)  Let/Permit
                                     To  give  permission  for  something  to  happen.  Example:  “He  let  the
