Read the Learn this! box. What examples of have something done can you find in the article in exercise 2?
LEARN THIS! have something done a You can use the structure have + object + past participle to say that you arranged for somebody to do something for you. (You did not do it yourself.) She had her hair dyed. I haven't had my eyes tested for years. b You can also use the structure for unpleasant things that somebody or something has done to you. He had his nose broken in a rugby game. |
Amanda recently had a colourful butterfly tattooed on her wrist. Brad had the names of his two daughters tattooed on his neck under his hair. His friend Doug had his back decorated with a large tattoo of a shield. For the people themselves, these examples of body art are meaningful and important. Nevertheless, they deliberately had them done in places that can easily be hidden. Why? Because they want to give themselves the best possible chance of getting a job, and many employers have a negative attitude towards tattoos and other forms of body art (piercings, body painting, etc.). That is because many employers do not think that decorating yourself with tattoos is acceptable. But when these employers were young themselves, back in the 1980s, they probably had their hair dyed a bright colour to shock their parents! Fashions change, but younger generations always have the desire to be different.
