1 6
We use 
have s o m e thin g done
to describe something that is done to us rather than us doing 
it ourselves. It often describes a service that we have arranged someone else to do for us:
I'm having my h air cut next week. My hairdresser is cutting my hair next week:
but it may also describe som ething unpleasant and out of your control:
I've had my pay frozen. My boss has frozen my pay:
It is usually unnecessary to say who perform s the service, but if we want to give this 
inform ation, we add 
b y+
agent, e.g. 
by m y boss.
Instead of 
have,
we can use 
get.
It is slightly more inform al.
