This form indicates that someone causes another person to take an action. Have someone do something is often used to management and work relationships.

Subject + Have + Object + Past Participle
This form is used with services that are commonly paid for such as car washing, house painting, dog grooming, etc.

3. Get
‘Get’ is used as a causative verb in a similar way as ‘have’ is used with the participle. This expresses the idea that the person wants something to be done for them. The causative verb is often used in a more idiomatic manner than ‘have’.
