The normal English causative verb or control verb used in periphrasis is "make" rather than "cause". Linguistic terms are traditionally given names with a Romance root, which has led some to believe that "cause" is more prototypical. While "cause" is a causative, it carries some additional meaning (it implies direct causation) and is less common than "make". Also, while most other English causative verbs require a "to" complement clause (as in My mom caused me to eat broccoli"), "make" does not require one ("My mom made me eat broccoli"), at least when it is not being used in the passive voice.
