When to use this lesson plan?

Before you determine how to teach causative verbs, it’s important to know when to teach them. Firstly, this lesson requires existing knowledge of basic concepts. So, it is not designed for beginner ESL students. Instead, it is designed for intermediate learners that have the ability to identify subjects and verbs independently. It is a part of the Off2Class  gerunds and infinitives curriculum. 

What students will learn in this lesson?

This lesson is packed with information on causative verbs. Let, make, have and get are the most common causative verbs. In addition to this, students will practice forming and using causative verbs (verb + object + bare infinitive), (e.g. My brother let me drive his car). They will also be introduced to allow, permit and enable followed by the infinitives.  By the end of this lesson, students will be able to make logical sentences using causative verbs. This will allow them to gain insight into how to make demands, ask questions and describe services.
