CFC Plus Grammar Sheet Causative Have – Have vs. Get Something Done
AD5
As covered in Unit 14, we use have/get something done when someone arranges for something to be done by somebody else. This passive construction is subject + get or have + object + past participle. The same construction is used to say that something is done to someone or to something belonging to the subject of have/get
He has his teeth cleaned every six months. He has his teeth cleaned. have/ get object past participle
We got our photo taken with the guards at Buckingham Palace. We got our photo taken. have/ get object past participle
As we have seen this pattern, get and have are often interchangeable, with get being used more often in conversation and in less formal writing. As we will see below, however, there are times when the decision to u se get or have affects meaning. Have is used ...
Get is used...
when the person referenced in the subject of the sentence is clearly not responsible for or does not control what happens: • Lana had her tonsils taken out. • They had their bikes stolen. (get can also be used in sentences like these in spoken informal English)
when we say that the person referenced in the subject of the sentence does the act themselves, causes what occurs, maybe unintentionally, or it is their fault: • I'll get the dishes washed if you fold the laundry. (= I'll wash the dishes) • Burt got his car keys locked inside his car. (= Burt locked his keys in his car.)
A. Complete these sentences using subject + had/got + it/them + past participle. Select from the verbs below and use each word once only. In these sentences had or got can be used interchangeably. deliver
