Have something done

New

Use have + thing + past participle when someone else does a service for you, such as a haircut or a repair. Have + річ + дієприкметник вживаємо, коли послугу виконує хтось інший: стрижка, ремонт.

subject+ have+ thing+ past participle

I had my hair cut yesterday. Вчора я підстригся (мене підстригли).
We are having the kitchen painted. Нам фарбують кухню.

I had cut my hair at the salon.
I had my hair cut at the salon.

Типова помилка: Українською кажуть «я підстригся», але в англійській I cut my hair означає, що ви зробили це самі. Якщо роботу виконує інший, потрібне have + річ + дієприкметник.
