· Questions and negations of the verb have are formed with do/does in the present simple and did in the past simple. e.g. Do you have your hair cut every month? Did she have the house cleaned?
· We can also use have something done to express that unpleasant happened to somebody. e.g. Mary had her purse stolen yesterday. (=Mary’s purse was stolen. This sentence shows that this unpleasant incident happened to her.)
· We can use the verb get instead of the verb have only in informal conversation. e.g We must get the fridge repaired soon. (=We must have the fridge repaired soon.)
