Have something done : lè yon lòt moun fè travay la

I cut my hair ak I had my hair cut dekri de jou ki pa menm. Se egzakteman nan sa diferans konstriksyon sa a make a rezide.

Fòm lan

have / get + konplemen + patisip pase

I had my car serviced.

She got her passport renewed.

We're having the kitchen painted.

Anjeneral, nou pa mansyone moun ki fè travay la ; se egzakteman sans konstriksyon an.

Kreyòl la gen yon mekanis ki tou pre, fè + vèb (Mwen fè repare machin mwen, Mwen fè koupe cheve m). An angle, nou pa itilize make pou sa, men have oswa get ak patisip pase : ❌ I made repair my car. ✅ I had my car repaired.

Poukisa sa enpòtan

I painted the house. (mwen te gen pinso a nan men m)

I had the house painted. (mwen te peye moun ki te fè l)

Itilize fòm aktif òdinè a kote ou bezwen konstriksyon kozatif la vle di ou ap pran travay yon lòt moun sou do ou ; nan yon kontèks pwofesyonèl, se pa yon senp detay gramè ankò.

Have oswa get ?

Nan pifò ka, yo entèchanjab. Get yon ti jan pi familye e souvan sijere ke te gen efò pou òganize l.

I need to have these documents translated. (netral)

I finally got the boiler fixed. (apre mil konplikasyon)

Selon tan vèb la

Tan	Egzanp
prezan	I have my hair cut every month.
pase	We had the roof repaired last year.
present perfect	She has had her eyes tested.
fiti	I'll have it delivered.
ak yon modal	You should have it checked.

Kesyon ak negasyon yo fòme ak do kòm òdinè ; sa bay yon fòm ki sanble ra men ki kòrèk, do you have… done :

• Where do you have your hair cut?
• We didn't have the car serviced this year.

Sans negatif la

Menm konstriksyon an dekri tou yon bagay move ki rive ou, san akò ni kòmand :

He had his wallet stolen.

They had their flight cancelled.

Se kontèks la ki deside bon lekti a : pesonn pa kòmande vòl pòtfèy li. Kreyòl la pa gen yon fòm apa pou sa : li di Yo vòlè pòtfèy li, ak sijè enpèsonèl yo.

have someone do ak have something done

I had the plumber fix the leak. (nou mansyone moun ki te fè l — enfinitif san « to »)

I had the leak fixed. (nou pa mansyone l — patisip pase)

Konstriksyon ki tou pre

Kat vèb dekri ki jan pou fè yon lòt moun aji, e yo diferan pa degre kontrent yo. Kreyòl la sitou gen fè (Li fè m tann, Mwen fè repare l) ak kite (pou let), kote angle dwe chwazi.

Konstriksyon	Siyifikasyon	Egzanp
have someone do	bay yon enstriksyon, akoz pozisyon ou	I had the assistant book it.
get someone to do	konvenk (remake to)	I got my brother to help me.
make someone do	oblije	They made us wait an hour.
let someone do	pèmèt	She let me borrow the car.

Se sèlman get ki mande to ; twa lòt yo pran enfinitif san « to ».

Sa li sèvi pou — konstriksyon kozatif la separe moun ki te vle yon bagay rive ak moun ki te fè l. Lè ou konn make diferans sa a, ou ka dekri tout lavi pwofesyonèl ak presizyon : ki jan nou bay lòd, nou delege, nou obeyi e nou jwenn yon otorizasyon.

Yon fòm familye kout : need + -ing

Nan lang oral la, olye de vwa pasif la, nou souvan itilize isit la yon fòm aktif an -ing :

• The car needs washing. (= needs to be washed)
• These shirts need ironing.

Remèt apatman an nan bon eta avan envite yo rive

A: Is the boiler fixed?

B: I'm having it looked at on Thursday. I got the landlord to call someone finally.

A: And the window someone broke?

B: We had that replaced last week. The carpet still needs cleaning, though.

Kòmand, pèsiyazyon, move sò ak fòm familye needs cleaning : kat yo nan yon sèl dyalòg.
