Have something done

Have + object + past participle (have something done)

We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. 

--> The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.

• I had my car washed.
• John will have his house painted.

Change the sentence.
I washed my car.

Change the sentence.
John will paint his house.

The verb tense must be the same as the example sentence.

We usually use 'have something done' when we are talking about paying someone to do something for us. 

It's often used for services. 

The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'.
