Additional
Need and want may be used in passive causative
sentences. In some cases, the passive
causative verb (had / got) may be dropped
altogether. Ineedtohavethe car tuned up.
Modal auxiliary verbs may be used with the
causative sentence structure. Most often,
modals express a suggestion by the speaker,
such as: You should have your hair cut.
