We use a causative verb when we want to talk about something that
someone else did for us or for another person. It means that the
subject caused the action to happen, but didn't do it themselves. Maybe
they paid, or asked, or persuaded the other person to do it..

HAVE: Pedir, mandar, encargar a… / hacer que alguien haga algo

I cleaned my house. I had my house cleaned.

I Washed my car.  I had my car washed.



I will paint my house.  John will have his house painted.

In a sense, using a causative verb is similar to using a
passive. The important thing is that the house is now clean.
We don't focus on who did the cleaning.

Have + object + past participle (have something done)
