"Have finished" or "have the work finished"?

AnonymousWhich is correct?
1."You must have finished the work by next Friday afternoon, or I'm not paying you,"
2."You must have the work finished by next Friday afternoon, or I'm not paying you,"

#1 is correct.

Is it? So is "You must have my suit ready by five" incorrect?

Oops! I mistook the sentence. I'll change the answer.


"You must finish the work by next Friday afternoon" is enough.

<"You must finish the work by next Friday afternoon" is enough.>

Are you saying that "must have finished" and "must have the work finished" are not used?

"Must have done something" is a correct collocation, but it is used to guess a past event. "He must have finished the work yesterday". "Must do something" is used to talk about a future action that the subject is obliged to do. "He must finish the work by tomorrow morning". "Must have something done" is also a correct collocation. But the use is different. It is used like "I must have my car repa

All the best:

I guess you want to ask : have v+ed or have ............... v+ed.

sometime vebr + adv if you want to use person noun that you need " vebr person noun adv"

good luck
