Questions
What does 'have something done' mean?
We use it when someone else does a job for us. Form: have + object + past participle. Example: I had my car repaired yesterday. It means I did not repair it myself; a mechanic did.
What is the difference between make, let and have in causative sentences?
Make means force someone: She made me wait. Let means allow: She let me leave. Have means ask someone to do something: I had the waiter bring a menu. After all three we use the base verb without to.
Can I use 'get' instead of 'have' for causatives?
Yes, in everyday speech. Get something done is more informal: I got my hair cut. With a person, get uses to: I got him to help me. Have uses the base verb: I had him help me.
