In that 2 00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:14,279 movie, an Army base had Williams character work as a radio DJ and his 3 00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:20,839 personality had everyone on the base laughing, except, of course, his supervisors 4 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:29,559 who wanted to have him transferred. Have someone do something, have someone doing 5 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,079 something, and have something done. By the end of this podcast, you'll 6 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:47,280 have learned six different ways to use have in the causative let's discuss. Welcome 7 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,240 to another Happy English podcast, coming to you from New York City, and 8 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,799 here's your English teacher, Michael all Rye. Thank you John, and thanks 9 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:03,400 everyone. It's Michael from Happy English and I help people speak English better. 10 00:01:03,959 --> 00:01:12,400 And this is Happy English Podcast, Episode seven six. Six causative forms of 11 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:19,040 have. Have is an interesting verb in English, and my goal for today's 12 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:26,560 lesson is to have you understanding six different ways to use have in the causative 13 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:33,920 form. Let's get the ball rolling. First of all, you can have 14 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:42,159 someone do something. The pattern is have followed by a person followed by a 15 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:49,560 base verb. You can say things like she had me go or let's have 16 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:57,239 Jack do it. The meaning is to ask or arrange for someone to do 17 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,760 something for you. And you want someone to do a job for you, 18 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,840 and you ask them or arrange for them to do it, we say that 19 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,159 you have them do it. Check out this example, Let's have Jenny run 20 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:22,400 the training workshop. This is the same as saying, let's ask Jenny to 21 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:30,240 run the workshop. Here's another example. I want to have Sam paint the 22 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,479 kitchen. He did such a great job when we had him do the living 23 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:44,560 room for us last year. You can also have someone doing something. The 24 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:51,919 pattern is have followed by a person followed by an ing you know, a 25 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:58,520 gerrand. You can say things like she had me laughing, or the boss 26 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:04,960 had us working hall card. The meaning is to cause a person to be 27 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:12,039 doing something. Here are some other examples. The comedian had us laughing for 28 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:20,639 the entire performance during tax season. The accounting manager has everyone in the office 29 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:28,400 working overtime. You can also use have when you cause something to happen to 30 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:36,680 someone. The pattern is have followed by a person followed by a past participle 31 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:43,800 verb. You can say things like have her promoted or have him transferred. 32 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,639 For example, once the boss got proof that Johnny was stealing money from the 33 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:58,159 company, he had Johnny arrested. The company is unable to fire David because 34 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,560 of his contract, so the boss had him transferred to a branch office in 35 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,759 the countryside. By the way, can you imagine having your English boosted to 36 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,479 the next level? Isn't that your dream for twenty twenty four. If that's 37 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,040 the case, then you definitely need to listen to the All Ears English podcast 38 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:28,120 to learn how to connect in English.

Then you'll get new episodes four days a week and they will 45 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:16,000 have you speaking better English in no time. Next, you can have something 46 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:24,120 done. The pattern is have followed by a thing followed by a past participle 47 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,319 verb. You can have your house painted or have your car serviced. When 48 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,879 you have something done, you pay someone to do the job for you. 49 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,519 Here are some examples. I have my hair cut once a week at Rocky's 50 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Barbershop downtown. Do you know where I can have my watch repaired? This 51 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:57,560 same pattern can also be used to talk about experience. You can have something 52 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,720 happened to you. For example, well, I had my wallet stolen while 53 00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:09,879 I was on a crowded subway. They unexpectedly had their flight canceled due to 54 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:15,199 bad weather, causing a delay in their travel plans. Ken had his leg 55 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,399 broken in a skiing accident. And finally, you can also have something happening. 56 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:29,879 The pattern here is have followed by something and then an ing. For 57 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:35,120 example, when we checked on the summer house after the storm, we discovered 58 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:41,720 that we had water leaking from the ceiling in the living room. It was 59 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:46,480 so nice that Vicky came with her kids yesterday. It was great to have 60 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:54,279 children playing in the backyard. Keep in mind the best way to remember this 61 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,920 and any other grammar pattern is to take the word or phrase, write it 62 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,079 in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, and then 63 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:12,800 memorize your sentences.
