CAUSATIVE CASE Have and Get
FIRST USE
a. Last Saturday, I had my hair cut. (I arranged someone to do it for me) b. Last Saturday, I got my hair cut. (Same meaning, but slighlty more informal)
-When we arrange for somebody else to do something for us, but we don't mention the agent/ doer of the action, we use: have + something + done (past participle) or get + something + done (past participle) - Using get is slightly more informal than using have.
More examples: -We're having our house redecorated. -Lucy has gotten her nails done. -Thomas will get his tongue pierced. -Chris is having his car serviced. Note: If we want to mention the doer of the action using these structures, we can add "by (someone)" at the end of each sentence.
SECOND USE
a. Last night, I had my mobile phone stolen. (CORRECT) b. Last night, I got my mobile phone stolen. (INCORRECT)
- When we want to express that something negative, unpleasant or unwelcome (has) happened to us, we use:
have + something + done (past participle) We do not use GET with this meaning. More examples:-I've just had my sunglasses broken.-My dad had his car scratched yesterday morning.-Last summer, we had our house burgled.
THIRD USE
a. I had Paul repair my computer. b. I got Paul TO repair my computer.
- When we arrange for someone else to do something for us, or for somebody else to do something we want, and we mention who does it, we use:
have + someone + do something (bare infinitive)get + someone + TO do something (TO infinitive) More examples: -We had our next door neighbour paint our house. -My sister got her boyfriend to cook her lunch. -Laura will get her grandma to make her graduation dress. -Martin is having Caroline finish his report.
