Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Causative: have something done lesson The causative (have/get + object + past participle) describes an action someone arranges for another person to perform: 'I had my hair cut' means a hairdresser cut it, not the speaker. 'Have' is the standard, neutral form; 'get' is more informal and often adds urgency or effort. The same pattern can also report an unwelcome event, as in 'She had her bag stolen.'
