Q
Lassen acts as a modal verb unless there is another modal verb there, in which case “lassen” goes to the end.
Ex. You’re getting your hair cut (literally, you are letting “somebody” cut your hair…..but it can basically mean, you are getting something like an activity done to you)
A
Lassen also has a reflexive dative personal pronoun with it!
