Passive / Causative - 11-23-2007, 04:42 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm currently learning all the different ways of conjugating Japanese verbs.
I am learning this from a dictionary and it insists on only using the technical terms for everything without any examples.

After much difficulty I have worked everything out except 3 conjugations as below:
Using the verb はなす
はなされる - Passive
はなさせる - Causative
はなさせられる - Causative Passive

Does anybody understand the difference between these conjugations and please provide a few more examples. This is a really painful thing to learn, thanks in advance!!!
