Here is another complex sentence structure to use in your IELTS and TOEFL essay writing. The causative structure will give you another option to add variety to your writing and get a higher band or score.

Example of a causative structure: The Director had his staff work over the holiday.
Notice that the subject (Director) is not doing the action (work) of the sentence, the agent (staff) is.

In this video, learn to recognize the causative and action verbs, the subject and agent, and how to make sure ideas are clearly expressed. We look at both the active form and the passive, as well as other forms like phrases and mixed clauses.
