Causative Have

There was a university student asked me about causative have yesterday. She's taking English class and she is supposed to present the topic. Here is my answer:

Causative Have is used for three reasons: that is to state that (1) someone does/did something to us, (2) we order someone to do something, and (3) someone does/did something for us (common American).

Someone does/did something to us
e.g. :

1. I have my purse taken.
2. Nyna has her handphone broken.
3. Risna has the left leg operated.
4. Father had his money stolen.
5. Merry had her nose pierced.

Summary 
                                               Subject    +     have/had     +    object   +   Verb 3




We order someone to do something
e.g. :

1. I have my bike repaired.
2. Rani has her email typed.
3. Vidia had her file copied.
4. The OSIS president had his instruction done. 
5. Mom had the beef roasted before she came home.

Summary 
                                               Subject    +     have/had     +    object   +   Verb 3



 Someone does/did something for us

 e.g. :

1. I had my secretary type the project report.
2. He has had his treasurer rank the tender participants.
3. Julia Gillard will have the Secretary General sign the agreement.
4. My aunt should have her gardener cut the bushes.
5. The head of marketing division must have the salespersons show better performance.

 
Summary 
                                               Subject    +     have/had     +    object of person   +   Infinitive

Note: 
Have/had can be in other forms such as : will have, must have, have had, has had, should have, ought to have, may have, could have, and so on.
have/had can be replaced by get. For example: I get my hair dyed last night.
