have / get something done (B1 Grammar)

When someone else does a job for you (you arrange it, you don't do it yourself), use have + the thing + the past participle. The thing goes in the middle.

have + the thing + the past participle

get + the thing + the past participle

get works the same way and is a little more relaxed: get + the thing + the past participle. Same meaning as have, just more everyday.

Word order: the thing sits in the middle

The thing always goes between have/get and the past participle. If you move it to the end, the meaning changes.

Saying no and asking questions

To say no or to ask, use do / does / did — just like any other verb. Now have/get goes back to its base form, but the thing still sits in the middle and you still use the past participle.
