BASIC USE
In English, “to have or get something done” is used as another form of the passive. It is used when the
subject of the sentence does not do the action. It is typically used for services you pay or ask other people
to do for you, like getting your house cleaned, nails done or car serviced. Consider this pair of sentences
- John painted his house..
- John had / got his house painted.
In the first sentence, John painted his house himself. He bought the paint and paintbrushes and actively
put the paint on his walls. In the second sentence, he paid someone else to do the action for him.
We can use to have or get something done interchangeably most of the time, but get is generally
considered more informal.
