You can also say 'gct something done' instead of 'have something done' (mainly in informalspoken English):o When are you going to get the roof repaired? (= have the roof repaired)o I think you should get your hair cut.Sometimes have something done has a different meaning. For example:o .Jill and Eric had all their money slolen while they were on holiday.Of course rhis does not mean that rhey'arranged for rornlbody to steal their money. 'They hadall thqir money stolen' means only: 'All their money was stolen from them'' :.With rhis meaning, we use have something done to say that something happens to somebody qtheir belongings.
