IV, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GET ANDHAVE

There are very small differences between get and have

Lets go over them :

First get is usually used when we are persuading

someone to do something. For examples, Evis house isdirty, so, Evi says Putri Ill buy you lunch, if you clean my

house . Putri agrees and cleans Evis house.

Evi got Putri to clean her house.


6/10

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 littlestrange :

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 barberthat cut your hair.

So what is the difference with have ? When you use have it soundslike you are asking someone to do something. For example, Evis grassis really long, Evi asks Putri Can you mow my lawn ? Evi had Putrimow her lawn.


7/10

Lets look at the strusture :

Evi + had + Putri + mow her lawn

Subject + have + object + infinitive

Be careful ! There is no to. The following sentence isincorrect :

X Evi had Putri to mow her lawn. ( Bad sentence! ).

When you use have, you usually have power oversomebody.You do not need to persuade them. You are payinga them to do something or you are in charge.

For example : My mother had me make a cake in thekitchen.

However, get and have can both be used in some situations,

- I had my sister make a cake.

- I got my sister to make a cake.

- I had the mechanic check my brakes

- I got the mechanic to check my brakes.
