The causative in English is the grammatical construction we use when we want to talk about what we asked someone to do for us: 'I had my hair cut' or 'I got my hair cut' It's formed by using whatever tense you want of 'have' or 'get' followed by an object and the past participle of the main verb. 'She's had two books published' You can add an agent (the person who does the verb) at the end after 'by' if you want. 'I had my house decorated by a painter'

What is causative construction?

A causative construction is a verb form that expresses a causative situation which is a situation where are two invents, wherebey the one event is the CAUSE of the second event. Often, in an abbreviated form, its subject is the CAUSER and occupies the position of the former subject of the caused event. This subject becomes the CAUSEE and will occupy often the object or the indirect object position. A causative construction can be built lexically by one verb, morphologically by one verb with a special causatiative morpheme and analytically by two verbs who are connected in a special way. These last forms are also called syntactic causatives.
