Or should employers make workers spend their entire work day in the office? This has been a major discussion in the business world since the Covid pandemic changed the way we work. There are arguments on both sides of the debate. These arguments centre on whether it is better to control workers or give them freedom.   Today I want to talk about this debate in more detail, while introducing some important grammar. In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use causative grammar.  In this episode, we will focus on the causative “make” and “let”, while in Friday’s bonus episode we will discuss “have” and “get”. Let’s practise this grammar and discuss remote work and company policies in this episode of Thinking in English Grammar!
