If you have something done, you don’t do it, somebody does it for you. Sample: The roof of Jane’s house was damaged in a storm. Yesterday a workman came and repaired it. Jane had the roof repaired yesterday. This means: Jane arranged for somebody else to repair the roof. She didn’t repair it herself. Compare: Jane repaired the roof. = (she repaired it herself) Jane had the roof repaired = (she arranged for somebody else to repair it) Get is normally used in conversation and informal writing. • Have your hearing tested right now. • Get your hearing checked.
