The Causative Passive is a structure used to indicate that
someone arranges for an action to be done by someone
else. Regarding the structure "Have/Get something
done", mark T, for true, and F, for false:
(__)The sentence "I had my car repaired" implies that the speaker arranged for a mechanic to fix the car, whereas "I repaired my car" implies the speaker did it personally.
(__)In the structure "Get something done" (e.g., "I need to get my hair cut"), the meaning is essentially the same as "Have something done", but "Get" is generally more informal and common in spoken English.
(__)The causative structure can also describe mishaps or accidental events where the subject experiences something negative, as in "He had his wallet stolen", meaning the theft happened to him, not that he arranged it.
(__)It is grammatically correct to say "I had the mechanic repaired my car" to express the causative meaning, using the past tense of the main verb instead of the past participle.
After analysis, select the alternative that presents the correct sequence of the items above, from top to bottom:
