Have something done is a passive form in the English language. "Have something done" can be defined as everything which other people do or provide a service to us. To further clarify the intention of the above see example below:
- I cut my hair
- I have my hair cut
From both these examples, there is a difference of meaning, namely:
If the example of the first sentence is "I cut my hair" contains the sense that my own hair cut without care given by others. In contrast to the second sentence of the second example is "I have my hair cut" contains the sense that someone had cut my hair (meaning someone has to provide services to figure I).
There are formulas to make the phrase "have something done", namely:
Have + Object + Past participle
See some examples below:
- We didn’t want to cook so we had a pizza delivered
- I had my car washed at that new place by the station
- I had my watch fixed
Of the three examples above, are all examples of the phrase "have something done". In the example of the sentence means:
"Have something done" in a slightly different context in the form of futures past. In the future before the word have / get should be added to the word "going to" which means plans made for the future. For example:
Past : i had my watch fixed
Future : I am going to have / get my watch fixed
There is another example of a sentence using "will" which means that something has just been decided and will be done. For example:
"Have something done" in the form of questions can be demonstrated when we love the new haircut of our friends, then we can ask where he cut his hair with example sentences as follows:
- We do not want to cook so we order a pizza
(Meaning our hero asks the service to others and others will be providing services to them
- I have washed my car in a new place near the station
(Meaning a car wash has been providing services to figure I)
- I have watched
Of the three examples above the words "had" to be replaced with "get" or "got" without changing the meaning.
- We didn’t want to cook so we got a pizza delivered
- I got my car washed at that new place by the station
- I got my watch fixed
