HAVE SOMETHING DONE

HAVE SOMETHING DONE

Dalam Bahasa Inggris, kita tidak dapat mengatakan seperti "we do something", "we did something" atau "we are going to do something" jika kenyataannya orang lain yang mengerjakan perkerjaan itu. Dalam Bahasa Inggris, kalau Anda berkata "I am going to cut my hair", berarti Anda duduk di kursi, di depan cermin, dan dengan gunting di tangan Anda, Anda memotong rambut Anda sendiri.

Maka untuk mengatakan bahwa orang lain lah yang mengerjakan perkerjaan itu untuk kita, maka strukturnya yang tepat adalah to have something done:

1. I am going to have my hair cut.
2. I have my car serviced every two months.
3. We had the house redecorated over the summer

Anda boleh juga menggunakan kata "get" sebagai pengganti "have":

1. I am going to get my hair cut.
2. I get my car serviced every two months.
3. We got the house redecorated over the summer.
