Causative get/ have sth done

Watch out!

• In general, get is more informal than have in causative structures.
• We can use other verbs instead of get and have with a causative meaning. They include need, want and would like. ✓ I'd like those cars washed by this evening, please.

• The structure get sth done can also mean 'finish doing something'.
✓ We'll set off as soon as I've got the car fixed.
