Is there a difference?
|
Hi, I hope you �re having a great day. I was wondering if you could help me with something. Is there a difference between these two senteces? 1. You can have someone fix your bike. 2. You can get someone to fix your bike. I just can �t say if the meanings are different. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Bere |

GET...."To get someone to do something" suggests that you talked to the person and convinced him/her to do something.
HAVE..."To have someone do something" simply states that you arranged for
someone to do something, whether or not that person did it voluntarily.
