Grammar Explanation

We use the passive tense or 'get/have something done' when we are more interested in the action than the person performing the action or we do not know, do not want to show or do not care who performs the action.

   Action > Subject

Subject = ?

Look at sentences

- Focus on that she was already being helped = action

- Focus on that they were disliked = action

- Focus on development of vaccine = action

- Focus on having been told = action

Grammar Explanation

Pay attention: somebody else is reparing my shoes for me! Or fixing my car for me, or something else. We use it to say that we are using a service (which we then often pay for, of course)

   

Get + object + past participle 

Have + object + past participle

Have = formal occassions

Get = (more informal occassions)

The expression have/get something done can be used to say that somebody else is doing something for you. 

(to get) + object + past participle of a verb

(to have) + object + past participle of a verb

• I got my shoes repaired (last week).
• I have got my shoes repaired. 
• I am having my shoes repaired (at the moment).
• I was getting my shoes repaired (when my uncle also walked into the shoe repair shop).
• I had got my shoes repaired (by the time I saw her again).
