Explanation
The causative is when we use the structure have/get + something + done. El done se sustituye por el verbo en tercera columna (past participle) del verbo principal que usemos. Se usa cuando queremos especifiar que alguien ha hecho algo por nosotros.
Esta estructura puede resultar confusa y difícil de asimilar al comienzo, ya que en español la manejamos totalmente diferente.
Si vamos, por ejemplo, a la oración 6, vemos que dice got all my cavities filled. En español diríamos: "me arreglé todas las caries", pero si lo decimos de esa forma en inglés, estamos diciendo que nosotros mismos nos aplicamos la anestesia, taladramos y rellenamos la muela.
