Dear teachers,

What's the difference between :

a) I will have / get my car serviced this afternoon; and
b) I will have (/get) the mechanic (to) service my car this afternoon?

Are they both in the causative form ?

And is there a nuance between "have somebody do something" and "get somebody do something"?

All the best,
Hela

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
