CAUSATIVE VERBS: HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE
Have something done and Get something
done are both used to refer to actions which are done for
the subject rather than by the subject.
Causative verbs are used instead of passive verbs to show that
the subject causes the action to be done.
1.
Have
something done
I don´t know how
to repair cars, so I´m having mine
repaired at the garage round the corner.
2. Get something
done
I really must get my eyes tested. I´m sure I need glasses.Get your hair cut!
Note
: The
differences between have and get something done are that have is slightly more formal
than get, and that get is more frequent
than have in the imperative form.
