Causative Verbs

Causative verbs show that somebody/something is indirectly responsible for an action.

The subject doesn't perform the action itself but causes someone/something else to do it instead. 

For example :
Yesterday I had my hair cut.

 1.  I didn't cut my own hair, but I made someone else do it for me instead I "caused" them to cut my hair. Read the following sentences
I made her sing a song.
I made him polish my shoes.
I got my clothes washed by him.
I got my thesis written by him.

 2.  इन वाक्यों में कर्ता स्वयं कार्य नहीं करता है। बल्कि वह अन्य से कार्य करवाता है। कार्य अन्य से करवाने हेतु जो verbs प्रयुक्त होती हैं वे causative verbs कहलाती है। इस तरह की verbs, get, make, have, keep etc. हैं। 
जैसे:
I made him laugh.
I made him write a letter.
He made me polish his shoes.
I kept her waiting.
He keeps me away from the office.
I shall make him complete the project today.

 3.  Active voice में सामान्य रूप से make, keep का प्रयोग किया जाता है तथा Passive voice में have, get का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे : 
I got my shoes polished by him.
I got my car repaired by the mechanic.
I got my clothes washed by her.
I had a song sung by her.
I had the thesis written by him.
I had my clothes washed by her.
I shall get the project completed by him today.

सामान्यतया get का प्रयोग विनम्रता, अनुरोध को व्यक्त करता है एवं make, have का प्रयोग बाध्यता, दबाव, विवशता के सन्दर्भ में होता है।

LET

Let can be used as a causative verb.
Let means a person gives permission for another person to do it.
See the following examples:
I can let this car cool.
Would you let me join your party?

Help

Help can also be used as a causative. It means a person assists another person to do it.
See the following examples:
I helped her to pack the luggage.
Would you help me deliver this box?
The most common error with causatives is using 'to' unnecessarily. For example:
We made Jack to finish his supper. Incorrect
We made Jack finish his supper. Correct

I let Jim to clean up the mess. Incorrect
I let Jim clean up the mess. Correct

Linking Verbs or Notional Verbs

जब Auxiliary (helping) verbs किसी वाक्य में मुख्य verb को support नहीं करते हैं बल्कि मुख्य verb होते हैं तो उस स्थिति में इन्हें linking verb या Notional verbs कहा जाता है। जैसे:
I have a book and a pencil.
She is a beautiful girl.
He has a table made of wood.
You do your work now.
She was sad.
You were happy.
He is my elder brother.
He is a poor fellow,

उपरोक्त वाक्यों में underlined verbs, Linking verbs या Notional Verbs हैं।

Note.
A linking verb connects a subject and its complement. Linking verbs sometimes called copulas. Linking verbs are often forms of the verb to be as above. But are sometimes verbs related to the five senses (look sound, smell, feel, taste) and sometimes verbs that somehow reflect a state of being (appear, seem, become, grow, turn, prove, remain). What follows the linking verb will be either a noun complement or an adjective complement.
See the following examples:
This room smells bad.
I feel great.
A victory today seems unlikely.

A handful of verbs that reflect a change in state of being are sometimes called resulting copulas. They, too, link a subject to a predicate adjective.
See the following sentences:
His face turned purple.
She became older.
The dogs ran wild.
The milk has gone sour.
