CAUSATIVE FORM

I had my car repaired

In English, the causative form is used when we don't do something ourselves, instead we arrange for someone else to do it for us.

The boy is getting his hair cut

There are two verbs generally used in the passive causative form; they are Have and Get. In addition, there is usually no agent in this form; it's not like in active form which has the agent. The action verb is in the past participle, and the object comes before it. The difference between have and get in this passive causative form is that have is more formal than get. 

I have my teeth cleaned
once a year 

Pattern

Subject

Have/Get

Object

Past Participle

Examples:

• I ask someone to fix my car.
  = I have my car fixed.

• She asked John to wash the plate.
  = She got the plate washed.
