User_gary  +  311005 Sat, 06 Jan 07 03:44 AM Look at the following sentences : (1) I employed someone to sweep my room.  = I had my room swept. (2) He employed someone to cut  his hair. =  He had his hair cut. (3) I employed someone to clean my car. = I had my car cleaned. Similarly, how to make the following sentences? Tell someone to bring it here.  =  (Have ..................) Tell someone to translate it into English. = (Have.............) Tell him to make another photograph. =  (Have...............) Could anyone help me? User_gary Joined on Fri, Jan 5 2007 Senior Member 2,582 Honesty is the best policy

	Grammar Geek  +  311039 Sat, 06 Jan 07 05:57 AM Gary, is this homework? If so, you need to try it first and we'll help. In fact, it's often best for you to just try it first anyway. But here's a sentence that may help you. Have Jennfier give me a call when she returns, please. (Also, usually you TAKE a photograph, not MAKE one.)

But we'd need more context to get the real meaning, I suppose. I was thinking of something like: Tell him to make another copy of the photograph. That would be OK, wouldn't it?

Tell someone to translate it into English. = Have it into English translated. Tell him to make another photograph. = Have another photograph made. Is it right? User_gary Grammar

	Grammar Geek  +  311688 Sun, 07 Jan 07 06:25 AM Tell someone to bring it here. =  Have it brought here. Good. Tell someone to translate it into English. = Have it into English translated. Have it translated into English. Tell him to make another photograph. = Have another photograph made. Or Have him make another photograph. Grammar Geek

	Grammar Geek  +  311969 Sun, 07 Jan 07 05:08 PM Yes, we do, but because it's often seen as a command, we tend to make it a little more polite. Instead of "Have him make another copy," we say "Would you please have him make another copy for me when he has a chance?" And instead of "have him" we may change it to "ask him."  "Excuse me, could you ask [have] our waitress to come over when you see her?" Grammar Geek
