Do you cut your own hair? I don't. Look at it! It's absurd! I look like a cocker spaniel...
Which is why I need someone to cut my hair for me. Oh did somebody say that they needed
a haircut? Oh wow! How convenient! Yes! Well don't you worry, I'm the best hair cutter in the world!
Um you mean hairdresser? Yes that's what I mean. I am the best hairdresser in the world. Come on,
Toby. You won't regret it! Oh God what am I doing....
Oh and there we have it! My creation! You know what Duke? That's not bad! Oh my God Toby you
look like so hot! Seriously Toby you look, like, amazing! Thanks guys. I finally got my hair cut!
Did you see that!? I got my hair cut. We have the SUBJECT plus GET plus THE OBJECT and then THE PAST
PARTICIPLE. But why oh why do we do this? Why do we use SUBJECT plus GET plus OBJECT plus PAST
PARTICIPLE? Well we do it to talk about something that we arrange for other people to do for us. So
for example I don't cut my hair. I'm not talented. I don't have creativity. I don't have any skills
at all and so I pay someone else to do it for me. I don't cut my hair, I get my hair cut. Now, okay,
this is a bad example because cut. CUT CUT CUT. The infinitive is CUT, the past simple form is CUT
and the past participle is CUT. But remember we're using the third form of the verb here. I SUBJECT
get GET my hair OBJECT cut PAST PARTICIPLE. Yeah? Yeah. And of course someone did this to me in the
past so GET becomes GOT that's how we change the tense. We change GET into the tense that we're
talking about. I am getting my hair cut. I have got my hair cut. I had got my haircut. I have been
getting my hair cut at this new hairdressers recently and boy oh boy they're doing a fantastic
job! Right? Right! So then we use SUBJECT plus GET plus OBJECT plus the PAST PARTICIPLE to
talk about something that someone does for us. We change the tense by changing the GET. Yes?
Great! Let's look at some more examples! I really should get my eyes tested I can't see a thing!
I didn't bother getting my nails done in the end it was like so expensive and Toby doesn't pay me
enough. Yep thanks for that, Monica. Oh my God oh my God what am I gonna do!? Stay calm Monica! Stay
calm! Oh for God's sake Monica what's the problem this week? My phone! it's broken! It won't turn
on! Oh my God! What if Johnny wants to text me or something? How am I gonna know? Oh my God this has
to be like the worst thing that ever happened to anybody ever! I don't even want to live anymore!
Oh well don't worry about that, Monica. Johnny ain't texted you in years so the chances of him
texting you now are like uh zero. Oh my God Bruce shut up! What do you even know? Yeah, like, nobody
has even texted you in like your entire life! Well Monica that is simply factually inaccurate yeah.
My dad texted me four months ago all right! Yeah right Bruce! What did it say? It says "all right
did you drink the last beer". Wow. Guys there is no need to argue I can fix your phone Monica!
Oh my god really, Duke? You can? Yes really! Duke is a phone fixer!
I won't look at your pictures Monica! I promise! Give it here! Yeah okay.
Oh Johnny it's so great to hear your voice after all of these years! Yeah I love you too!
What on Earth is going on? Monica had her phone fixed. By who? By Duke. Whoa! She had her phone
fixed by Duke!? Yes that's right... ah I'm an up-and-coming professional! And did you see that!?
Monica had her phone fixed and this is exactly the same as Monica got her phone fixed. The
only difference is we've used HAVE instead of GET. Maybe HAVE is slightly more formal but the meaning
is the same. So the structure is SUBJECT plus HAVE plus OBJECT plus THE PAST PARTICIPLE and again we
change the tense by changing the HAVE. Monica had her phone fixed. Monica will have her phone fixed.
Monica has had her phone fixed. Monica is having her phone fixed. Monica is going to have her phone
fixed. All of these fixings of phones! Wonderful! Let's look at some more examples! My parents are
having their house painted. I wish I could have my house painted but I don't even have a house, so
yeah. My brother is having his car washed and I wish I could have my car washed but I can't
even drive. Yes yes I am a success. Um oh yeah and if you wanted to specify who did the action
then you can do this with BY. I got my hair cut BY Duke. Monica had her phone fixed BY Duke.
Yeah just a quick question um did Duke really fix your phone? No he he didn't. Duke is an
idiot he doesn't know anything about phones but don't tell Bruce! I want him to think that
Johnny called me! Oh and by the way your hair looks awful I preferred it before.
So then Duke, I hear that you are quite the whiz kid these days is that true? Yes Bruce! Now what
do you want? Let me guess you've run out of beer again? Oh my God you are so predictable!
Yes Monica you are right. Bruce has run out of beer. Well Bruce I just happened to be a
professional beer getter so if you give me 20 euros I will go and get you some beer. Yeah?
Yeah. Alright then. Here you are. Okay I'll be back in a moment.
Duke? Duke?! Have you got the beer!? Duke?! Yeah girls! And then he was so
stupid he actually gave me the money! And I just bought a beer for myself!
And with that we are finished! That was everything that you needed to know about
having or getting something done for the B2 First Cambridge exam! If you like
