Causative Verbs
A common causative pattern is "have + object + past participle". This means you arrange for someone else to do something to something you own. "I had my hair cut." (= a hairdresser cut it, not me.) "She's having her car serviced." "We need to have the roof repaired." This structure focuses on the result, not who performs the action.
