Add -saseru, -sasemasu to the stem of v-stem verbs (-sasenai, -sasemasen for the negative), and add -aseru, -asemasu to the stem of c-stem verbs (-asenai, -asemasen for the negative).

I don't get this forms at all, please help me
"to listen": Kiku 聞く
potential form: Kikeru
pasive form (Nödötai): Kikareru
Causative form (Shieki): Kikasemasu
Causative-pasive form (Shieki-Ukemi): Kikaserareru.
This is easy to understand, but later in the examples I find this:
Nödötai example:
Gakuseki wa sensei no meirei de teepu o kikimashita.
Shieki example:
Sensei wa gakuseki ni teepu o kikasemashita
Shieki-ukemi
Gakusei wa sensei ni teepu o kikaseraremashita.
The Potential, pasive, causative and causative-pasive give a new ichidan verb, also understand this, but from there I don't know how to get kikimashita, kikasemashita o kikaseraremashita... are there the past -masu form or something?
Thanks again.
"negative" base of verbs

The verb stem which ends in the vowel sound "a" for godan verbs is often called the "negative" base, because it is used for the negative endings -nai and -nakatta. This is the stem used for the -saseru ending as well.
iku -> ika + saseru = ikasaseru
au -> awa + saseru = awasaseru
Note that when the last syllable of a dictionary form is "u", it changes to "wa"-- alien-san's inflection was incorrect.
taberu -> tabe + saseru = tabesaseru (ichidan verb)
suru and kuru are irregular, but again the stems used are the same ones used with -nai:
suru -> shinai, shisaseru
kuru -> konai, kosaseru
This information is explained on the main page on Verbs, http://www.studyjapanese.org/language-reference/verbs .
i am not clear how to use SASERU form with the verbs IKU AU TABERU KURU SURU

What causative means

Causative means "causes to happen". So in the example sentence, "made" is the key word-- I caused Torako to get off the kitchen table.
The -saseru and -aseru endings inflect the same way ichidan (ru-dropping) verbs inflect, so the polite inflections are -sasemasu, -sasemasen (negative), -sasemashita (past), -sasemasendeshita (negative past), and similarly for -aseru.
@alynne-san: So -sasemasen and -asemasen are the endings for causative negatives in the present/future tense, not past negatives.
