have / get something donehave / get something done

The causative: have / get something done

وقتی ترتیب می‌دهی کسِ دیگری کاری را برایت انجام دهد، از «have/get + مفعول + قسمت سوم فعل» استفاده کن: «I had my hair cut» (آرایشگر کوتاه کرد، نه من). «get» کمی غیررسمی‌تر است و می‌تواند نشانهٔ تلاش باشد: «I finally got the car fixed.» در همهٔ زمان‌ها کار می‌کند: «We are having the kitchen redone»، «They had already had it repaired». الگوی دوم «get somebody TO DO something» یعنی راضی کردن: «I got my brother to help me.» و «have somebody DO something» (مصدرِ بدون to) در انگلیسیِ آمریکایی رایج‌تر است: «I had the plumber check the pipes.» نکته: «I had my phone stolen» یعنی ترتیبش را ندادی — در اتفاق‌های ناخوشایند، این ساخت فقط گزارش می‌کند چیزی برایت پیش آمده.

Use "have/get + object + past participle" when you arrange for somebody else to do something for you: "I had my hair cut" (a hairdresser cut it, not me). "Get" is slightly more informal and can suggest effort: "I finally got the car fixed." It works in every tense: "We are having the kitchen redone", "They had already had it repaired". A second pattern, "get somebody TO DO something", means persuade: "I got my brother to help me." And "have somebody DO something" (bare infinitive, no "to") is more common in American English: "I had the plumber check the pipes." Careful: "I had my phone stolen" does not mean you arranged it — with unpleasant events the causative simply reports something that happened to you.
