Causative (Have/Get Done) Dictation: Have Someone Do and Get Someone to Do

English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Notice whether the word after have or get names the person doing the work. With have someone do something, the action uses a base verb. With get someone to do something, you will hear to before that verb. This differs from having an object repaired, where the object receives the action. Listen carefully for the short to, especially between a person's role and the action. Keep the tense on have or get exactly as spoken. You are recording who does what, so retain both the worker and the complete action.
