There are times when the passive causative is preferred.

You’ll use the passive when the thing or person receiving the action is more important than the one doing the action.

When you want to emphasize the thing or person receiving the action or you do not know who or what is DOING the action.

Under these circumstances, the passive in general should be used.

But when we express causation in the passive voice, the sentence structure changes.

In today’s lesson, you’ll learn about the passive causative.

We’ll compare the two passive forms: the be-passive and the get-passive.
How only one causative verb (which is considered the prototypical causative) follows the regular be-passive structure.
Two other causative verbs follow the get-passive structure.
And one causative verb that follows the passive imperative mood structure.
