1. HAVE/GET SOMETHING DONE
We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that someone else did for us or for another person.
We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. It's often
used for services. The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.
 I had my car washed.
 John will have his house painted.
We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'have', but is less
formal.
 The students get their essays checked.
