Lesson 15: Causative Passive Form
In this lesson, I will teach you how to convert Japanese verbs to Causative Passive Form.
What Does Causative Passive Form Mean?
| Causative Passive Form means “be made to do something by someone else”. It is used when you want to express that you have been made to do something by someone else. For example if you were made to do your homework by your mum, that is the perfect time to use it. |
How to convert Japanese Verbs to Causative Passive Form?
| Type-1 Verb：change the u-hiragana to a-hiragana and add せられる in the end. For example，書く→書かせられる. But please note that there is an exception. When it is a verb that looks like xx-う，for example，会う，then you need to change う to わ，not あ，so it will be 会う→会わせられる. Type-2 Verb：change the る in the end to させられる. For example，食べる→食べさせられる Type-3 Verb： change the する in the end to させられる. For example，勉強する→勉強させられる Irregular Verb：する→させられる 来る→来させられる |
Example Sentences:
| 先生に答えを書かせられた。 I was made to write the answer by the teacher. 妻に仕事をやめさせられた。 I was made to leave my job by my wife. 彼に２時間も待たせられた。 He made me wait over 2 hours. 彼女は無理やり残業させられた。 She was forced to work overtime. 毎日父に野菜を食べさせられる。 Every day, my father makes me eat vegetables. |

Shouldn’t
「彼に２時間待たせられた」
be
“He made me wait over 2 hours” instead of “He made me wait over 3 hours”?
Sorry for the inconvenience, it’s a typo, I have fixed it already!
