This document discusses the use of causative verbs "have" and "get" something done. It provides examples of how these verbs are used to indicate that the subject causes an action to be performed by someone else rather than performing the action themselves. It also notes some non-causative uses of "have" and "get". The document includes two exercises, the first rewriting sentences using "have" or "get", and the second matching services/professions with actions and writing sentences using the verbs.

Causative verbs
1. 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.
NON-CAUSATIVE USES OF HAVE AND GET
Have and get are also used to refer to events which happened to someone, but were outside their
control.
After being late for work every day for two weeks, Billy had his pay reduced.
I stood so close to the fire that I got my legs burnt.
