“2016-03-24 Evening: 12 Domestic help”
---
Homework: read p. 147 and do p. 146 parts 3 and 4
	Also, p. 143 part 8 (add “just”, “only”, or “even” to the sentences, and say if it’s true in your country)
---
p. 144 - What is the job in the picture?
Answer the questions in part 2 about the other jobs in the box (with a partner).
---
part 7 - What is the object of “get” or “have”?
The idea of getting a worker to hand wash your car was unthinkable.
You can have your car washed for $6.
You don’t have to be rich to have a cleaner come once a week.
Another example would be getting your windows cleaned every few months.

These verbs are called causatives, because they cause someone else to do an action.

have/get + something + past participle of the action - If you don’t say who does the action.
You got your hair cut.
You had your nails done.

have + someone + base form of the action
get + someone + infinitive of the action
- If you say who does the action.
---
What are some other services you might pay for (that aren’t domestic help)?
I get my laundry done at Cloverleaf.
Ishmael had his tattoo done.
Get your ears pierced.
Have your house renovated.
Get your house painted.
Have a new house built.

I had the students close their books. (“have” is more like “instructed”)

I get my kids dropped off at school in the morning.
I’m going to call a taxi to have my friend taken to the airport.

“My kids” and “my friend” are “someone”s, but they don’t do the action, so we use the passive form.
