Construction in everyday English and that is  what you're going to learn today first we're  

going to look at the construction then you're  going to get of examples before doing a quiz  

so get something done you can form this by using  get plus the object plus the past participle if  

that is confusing and you don't like grammar  that's okay you're going to learn through the  

examples for example I get my haircut every month  I get my haircut every month I don't cut my own  

hair someone else does it for me so when we use  this construction get something done get your hair  

cut you arrange for someone else to do something  for you and that is the key of this so let's look  

at more examples now so we'll go through more  examples with get my hair cut first now it's

cut this weekend usually people say this with  excitement I'm going to get my haircut this  

weekend and the next one is she got her haircut  before the wedding she got her hair cut before  

the wedding so we can talk use this in the future  we can use it with the present perfect in the past  

Etc the next one is the this get my nails done  now I don't get my nails done because my nails  

are perfect without having them done but this is  where a nail technician does your nails you might  

say I always get my nails done for special events  I always get my nails done for special events and  

he got his nails done for the first time yesterday  he got his nails done for the first time yesterday  

the next one is this get the house cleaned get  the house cleaned so if you do your own housework  

you don't get the house cleaned by someone else  instead you do it yourself if you get the house  

cleaned a cleaning service or a cleaner cleans  your house for you which is such a luxury if you  

can get that done so we usually get the house  cleaned once a month we usually get the house  

cleaned once a month and they got their house  cleaned before the guests arrived often times  

if you have a party you need to get your house  cleaned or clean your house after the party

too the next one is get the house  painted get the house painted this  

is simply painters painting your house so  you can see the video there was a painter  

hopefully a professional painter painting  the house we're going to get the house  

painted next spring so you're not going to  do it this week you're going to do it next  

spring and he got his apartment painted  last month so again we're using the past

tense the next one is get the car fixed and  this is where a mechanic repairs your car so
