Causative (uzroni) glagoli pokazuju da je neto ili neko indirektno odgovoran za

neku radnju. Subjekat ne vri radnju, ali ini da neto ili neko drugi uradi toumesto n jega. Na primer:

- Yesterday I had my hair cut. (Jue sam se oiao.)Ja nisam sam oiao svoju kosu, ali sam dao drugome da to uradi umesto mene.

Have

Haveje najei uzroni glagol. Umesto da neto sami radimo, mi have nekogdrugog da to uradi umesto nas. Evo kako izgleda forma reenice:

Glagol " to have" + objekat + past participle.Na primer:

- I had my jacket cleaned yesterday.(Oistio sam jaknu jue.Odnosno: Dao sam jue da mi se oisti jakna.)

- Did you have your computer fixed?(Da li si popravio kompjuter?Odnosno: Da li si dao da se popravi?

Ponekad koristimo have kao uzroni glagol kada nameravamo sami da uradimo

neto. Na primer:

- When will the report be ready? I'll do it by tomorrow morning. >>- When will the report be ready? I'll have it done by tomorrow morning.

Koristei kozitiv u drugoj reenici, panja nije na vrioca radnje nego na dogadjaj koji jeuradjen. Zvui ljubaznije i profesionalnije.

Get

Get se esto koristi umesto have. Na primer:

- I got my computer fixed - I had my computer fixed. Ove dve reenice znae isto.- I got my jacket cleaned. - I had my jacket cleaned. Ove dve reenice znae isto.

Uzrone glagole koristimo i kada imamo loa iskustva. U takvim situacijama ee

se koristi have. Na primer:

- I had my wallet stolen.(Nisam ja izazvao nekoga da mi ukrade novanik neko ga je ukrao od mene.)

Anna: That makes three displeased shoppers. Guess what? Thecamera I bought and shipped to Mike just this morning is now on

sale! It's a pity that I bought it then. Then again, I guess I shouldn'tcomplain. It was a good buy, even though I didn't get the best dealon it. Anyway, Masahiro, I suggest you look for that receipt and

just go to the Complaints Department and say "I'd like to exchangethis, please." It's as simple as that. And Will, it's not too late foryou to ask for a refund.

recently been taken on to re-organize the PR department.- Oh, yes. How are you getting on with him?- Well, I dont really li ke having to say it and believe me itsnothing personal but I just dont think hes up to the job. To befrank, I think hes way out of his depth and as you knowyourself from experience, running the PR department is a tallorder even for someone with years of experience in the field -

but restructur ing one is a different ball game altogether.- Do you not think that youre being just a little bit hasty injudging him? Because after all hes only just sett ling in. Hehasnt had time to find his feet yet, has he? - I suppose not.- Im of the opinion that we give him a little bit longer to seehow he shapes up before we jump to any conclusions, youknow, give him a chance to prove himself.- Um, well, maybe youre right. Lets give it a week or two andthen re-convene.

- One thing that you shouldn t forget is that Simpson cameto this company with g lowing references and a CV thatspoke volumes about his management abil ities. He was

actively head hunted by our company and the ManagingDirector reckons we were lucky to get him.- Yes, Im aware of his past record at Johnsons Ltd.- Apparently, he was instrumental in turn ing the companyround and hes spoken of there very highly, so he musthave been doing something right. Hes got a realreputation as a business trouble shooter.

- Im not disputing the mans abilities and I know all abouthis reputation but it's my view that his management styleis just totally unsuited to this company.- I know what you mean to an extent - he can be a bitbrusque and overbearing at times but Im afraid to say thatthats just something youll just have to get used to andtry not to take it personally. His remit is to re-shape the

department so hes bound to tread on a few toes whilstdoing so.
