HAVE SOMETHING DONE

HAVE SOMETHING DONE

                   Take a look at these two sentences. What is the difference in meaning between them?

'I cut my hair.'
'I have my hair cut.'

'I cut my hair' means that I do it myself.
'I have my hair cut means someone cuts my hair for me (in this case it's probably a hairdresser).
                  We use have something done to mean another person does a service for us.
The grammar for this is pretty simple:

Have + object + past participle

Let's take a look at a few more examples:

'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.'

                 We can also use 'get' instead of 'had' and the meaning stays the same. The sentences above now become:

'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.'

future

'I had my watch fixed' tells us about the past.
'I am going to have / get my watch fixed' tells us about the future.
 'Going to' tells us about a future plan that has already been made.
We use 'will' for  something that has just been decided:

I just noticed how dirty my suit is. I will have / get it cleaned soon.'

questions

'Where did you have / get your hair cut?'

Maybe you have just moved to a new town and you decided that it is time for a haircut ;you can ask:

You want to know if your friend's car has been fixed yet; you can ask:

Memiliki sesuatu dilakukan

            Lihatlah dua kalimat. Apa perbedaan dalam arti antara mereka?

'I cut my hair.'

'I cut my hair' means that I do it myself.
'I have my hair cut means someone cuts my hair for me (in this case it's probably a hairdresser).

             Kami menggunakan memiliki sesuatu dilakukan berarti orang lain melakukan layanan bagi kita.

Tata bahasa untuk ini cukup sederhana: Memiliki +objek+ Kata kerja

Let's take a look at a few more examples:

'We didn't want to cook so we had a pizza delivered.'

'I got my car washed at that new place by the station.'
'I got my watch fixed.'
