Is it OK to say"I'll have the children dressed."?
First, there's a sentence below:I'll get the children dressed.
The verb "have" is similar to "get", so I made a silmilar sentence using "have":"I'll have the children dressed."
Is this sentence correct? Can I really say it this way? By the way, is the word "dressed" a verb or an anjective? Thanks for your opinions!!Top answer
