Grammar rule

Grammar from units 10–12

Unit	Grammar	Example
10	causatives: have / get something done, have someone do, get someone to do, make / let someone do	She had the cast put on right away. The doctor had me move my fingers. I got a friend to drive me home.
11	participle clauses: -ing, past participle, having + past participle	Trying to show my nephew, I fell off. Having waited only twenty minutes, I was seen by a doctor.
12	passive reporting: It is said that…, is thought to…, is thought to have…	The bone is expected to heal in about six weeks.

Three things to watch: have, make and let take no to (had me move, made me pay, let us stay), but get does (got her to drive); a participle clause needs the same subject as the main clause; and after is said or is thought, use to have + past participle for the past (is said to have left).
