************

Look at the pictures, study the situations and answer the questions below:

1- Does Mary service her car every week herself?

2- Who services her car?

3- What about John? Did he do his own hair last week?

4- Who did it?

- Every month, Mary gets her car serviced.

- Little John got his hair done last week.

- Every month, Mary gets her car serviced.

A rule for using the causative “get”: -The causative “get” is used when the subject of the sentence arranges for an

action to take place, that is, the subject of the sentence is not doing the action.

Form: get + noun / pronoun + past participle

Note: “have” can be used to replace “get” with the same meaning

Let’s study the following models:

- My TV is broken.

* Conversation 1:

Speaker A: Oh, you should get it mended.

Speaker B:

* Conversation 2:

- My fingers hurt.

You should get them checked.

Speaker B:

Speaker A:
