Causative Verbs
"Have" means to arrange for someone to do something, usually as part of a service or their job. Structure: have + object + base verb. "I had the mechanic check my brakes." "Get" is similar but involves more persuasion or effort. Structure: get + object + TO-infinitive (with "to"!). "She got her assistant to prepare the report." This is the key difference: "have" takes a base verb; "get" takes "to + infinitive".
