Causative form Meaning Causative is usedwhen arranging for someone to do something for us. They had their car repaired. (they arranged for someone to repair it) They repaired their car. (they did it themselves) I had my hair cut yesterday. (Iwent to the hairdresser) I cut my hair yesterday. (I cut it myself)

Causative form Form have + object + verb 3 (past participle) – have something done Additional points Get is possible instead of have , usually in informal spoken English. I’m going to have my car fixed tomorrow. I’m going to get my car fixed tomorrow.

Questions like ‘Do you know where/what/etc…’ direct word order! Example: ‘Do you know where our cat is ? ’ ‘Do you realize what you have done ?

Let’s practice asking question with a game!

All right, let’s move on!
