Causative Form
have + object + past participle
We use this to say that we arrange for someone to do something for us. I may give you an example in some tenses here:
EX
Present Simple: She looks after her children. = She has her children looked after.
Present Cont: She is looking after her children. = She is having her children looked after.
Past Simple: She looked after her children. = She had her children looked after.
Past Cont: She was looking after her children. = She was having her children looked after.
Future Simple: She will look after her chidren. = She will have her children looked after.
Future Cont: She will be looking after her children. = She will be having her children looked after.
Present Perfect: She has looked after her children. = She has had her children looked after.
Present Perfect Cont: She has been looking after her children. = She has been having her children looked after.
Similarity, you can do it in Past Perfect or Past Perfect Cont...
*Infinitive -ing form: She can look after her children. = She can have her children looked after.
She likes looking after her children. = She likes having her children looked after.
*Get can be used instead of have in the causative. (Did you get your hair cut?)
