PASSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS: HAVE SOMETHING DONE

One of the ways we use the passive voice is to talk about an action without saying who did it.


There is a special passive construction with have: 

have + something (the object) + past participle

example: I have my business taken care of.(Somebody is taking care of my business.)
another example: He has his dog walked.(Somebody walks his dog.)

In this construction, like in all passive sentences, we need to use the past participle. 

We can use this construction in the following cases:

1. We make someone else do something for us, or we pay someone else to do something for us.

Example:

• Jeremy's car is in terrible condition! He is going to have his car fixed. He hopes it won't be too expensive!

  2. Something negative happens and we have no control over it (something bad happens to us).

Example:

• The homeowner had all his money stolen! The police still haven't caught the mysterious robber.
