Have something done and Get something done are both used to refer to actions which are done for
the subject rather than by the subject. Causative verbs are used instead of passive verbs to show that
I don´t know how to repair cars, so I´m having mine repaired at the garage round the corner.
NOTE: The differences between have and get something done are that have is slightly more
formal than get, and that get is more frequent than have in the imperative form.
Have and get are also used to refer to events which happened to someone, but were outside their
control.
