III.
( HAVE GET
1. We use causative have when arranging for someone to do something for us. Examples :
They had their motorcycle repaired. I had my hair cut. I had my grandmother visited. Sinta had her book read. The lecturer had the students written a letter.
Evi got Putri to clean her house. I got a barber to cut my hair. I got my brother to hang wallpaper. I got my sister to make a cake. Andi got Tuti to borrow English book in the library.
When you use the following structure : Evi + got + Putri + to clean her house.
It usually means you are not paying for the service. You are persuading someone to do it. The following sentence is a little strange : I got my barber to cut my hair. This sound like you got a free hair cut. However, you can say the following : I got my hair cut. ( Subject + get ( direct ) object + past participle ). This is a little different structure. We use this when the indirect object ( the barber ) is not important because we know it is probably the barber that cut your hair. So what is the difference with have ? When you use have it sounds like you are asking someone to do something. For example, Evis grass is really long, Evi asks Putri Can you mow my lawn ? Evi had Putri mow her lawn.
