When to use Pivot Sentences with 让, 叫, 请 and 使

In a pivot (兼语) sentence, one person is both the object of the first verb and the subject of the second: in 老师让我们读课文, 我们 is who the teacher asks, and also who reads. The order is subject + 让/叫/请 + person + second verb. 让 and 叫 mean “ask, tell” and 请 means “invite, treat”; when the subject is a thing or an event, 让 means “make”: 这件事让我很高兴.

我请你吃饭吧。

Let me treat you to a meal.

爸爸叫我去买牛奶。

Dad told me to go and buy milk.

这件事让我很高兴。

This made me very happy.

他的话让大家都笑了。

What he said made everyone laugh.

Erros comuns

  • Put the person between the two verbs: 老师让我们读课文, not 老师让读课文我们.
  • Use 让, not 使, for asking or allowing: 妈妈让我去买菜, not 妈妈使我去买菜.
  • To say someone won’t allow something, put 不 before 让: 爸爸不让我去, not 爸爸让我不去 (that means Dad told me not to go).
