Have something done If you 'have something done', you get somebody else to do something for you. - I'm going to have my hair cut. - She's having her house redecorated. - I'm having a copy of the report sent to you In informal English, we can replace 'have' by 'get'. - We're getting a new telephone system installed. - They will be getting the system repaired as quickly as they can. - I got the bill sent direct to the company. We can also use 'have/got something done' in situations where something bad has happened to people or their possessions. This is not something they wanted to happen. - John had all his money stolen from his hotel bedroom. - We had our car damaged by a falling tree. - I got my nose broken playing rugby. exercícios home |
