Japanese Grammar – Causative Passive

Wow, this one is a doosie. Here’s how it goes.

First we have Causative;

樹理は私にケーキを食べさせた。
“Juri made me eat the cake”

Then we have Passive

私はケーキを食べた。
“I ate the cake”

And finally Causative Passive

ケーキをたべさせられた。
“I was forced/made to eat cake” (By someone or something)

So here are some examples. Keep an eye on the types of verbs.

私はいっしょに行かされた。　行く　－＞　行か＋された
I was forced to go (somewhere with someone)

いかを食べさせられた。　食べる　－＞　食べ＋させられた
I was forced to eat squid.

ベール１０本を飲まさせられた。 飲む　－＞　飲ま＋させられた
I was forced to drink 10 beers.

車を運転させられた。 運転する　－＞　運転させられた。
I was forced to drive (the car)

Let me know if I got something wrong. Note to self: write these in Japanese, “Forced to come”, “Forced to break (a contract).”
