This one is pretty easy if you already know causative and passive by themselves.

Causative-Passive Form

Structure: conjugate into causative, then into passive. Since causative is always an ichidan, it results in a pretty consistent conjugation

Ichidan Verbs - Drop る, add させられる

Godan Verbs - change last kana like you are making a negative, then add せられる

Exceptions - する => させられる, くる => こさせられる

Again, results in an ichidan verbal.


Uses:

Used to incorporate both causative and passive. The act of making someone do something had been done to them.

が in passive used for subject that had been actioned on. に was person carrying out action. Passive basically the end form, the same particle usage follows here.

が is the person making someone do something. に is the person being made to do something.

ex.

親に僕が毎日宿題をさせられる - “I am made to do homework by my parents every day”. Compare to 親が僕に毎日宿題をさせる = “My parents make me do homework everyday”. And 僕に毎日宿題がさられる = “Homework is done by me every day”

日本では、お酒を飲ませられることが多い - “In Japan, the act of being made to drink alcohol is numerous”

Shortened Form

For SOME verbs, you can used the shortened causative to form the causative-passive.

行かす => 行かされる

Ex. 学生が廊下に立たされた - “The student was made to stand in the hall”

For verbs that would results in a shortened さす (ichidans and “shi” godans), you can’t have さされる. Such as 食べさされる, and 話さされる




Vocab:

Here are some kanji from the lessons that I wasn’t really familiar with at this point:

  • 廊下. We know the second kanji. Pronounced “rouka”. Means “corridor; hallway”.
