Causative: Have/Get Something Done

1 · Notice

My grandfather never had his photo taken as a child — cameras were rare back then.
We're going to get the old family house repainted before the reunion this summer.
She doesn't cook every dish herself; she often has meals delivered by her granddaughter instead.
Could you get your brother to fix the Wi-Fi for your grandmother? She can't get online.

In these sentences, does the subject of the sentence do the action themselves, or does someone else do it for them?

B Build sentences

Use the cues to build true sentences with the causative.

✓ My mother has her hair cut every month.

C Your turn

Write four sentences about things your family has done for them, or things you could get a family member to do for you.

My grandparents have…Last year, we had…I'm going to get my…My parents never get…

Rule

We use 'have/get something done' when someone else does an action for us, instead of doing it ourselves: have/get + object + past participle (e.g. have your hair cut). We use 'get someone to do something' when we persuade or arrange for a specific person to do it (e.g. get your brother to fix the Wi-Fi).

TRBir işi kendimiz yapmak yerine başka birine yaptırdığımızda 'have/get something done' yapısını kullanırız: have/get + nesne + past participle (Ör: have your hair cut). Belirli bir kişiyi bir şey yapmaya ikna ettiğimizde ya da ayarladığımızda 'get someone to do something' yapısı kullanılır (Ör: get your brother to fix the Wi-Fi).

When?

We use these structures to talk about having a service done by someone else (getting a haircut, having a car washed) or asking a family member to do something for us.

TRBir hizmeti başkasına yaptırdığımızı (kuaförde saç kestirmek, arabayı yıkatmak) ya da bir aile üyesinden bir şey yapmasını istediğimizi anlatırken bu yapıları kullanırız.

Positive

Question

Short answers

Mistakes

In the causative, the verb must be a past participle placed after the object: have + object + past participle.
TRCausative yapıda fiil past participle olmalı ve nesneden sonra gelmelidir: have + nesne + past participle.

In the causative, an extra 'done' must not be added; only have/get + object + past participle is used.

Asking for and Giving Advice: should, ought to, had better, if I were you, why don't you

1 · Notice

You had better ask your grandmother about the family recipe before it's forgotten forever.
Why don't you ask your father to teach you how he learned to save money as a teenager?

C Your turn

Write four sentences giving advice about handling a generational disagreement — use at least three different advice expressions.

If your grandparents don't understand…, you should…You ought to…Why don't you…If I were you, I would…

Rule

'Should' and 'ought to' give general advice. 'Had better' gives a stronger warning, often implying a negative consequence if not followed. 'Why don't you…?' offers a friendly suggestion as a question. 'If I were you, I would…' gives advice by imagining yourself in someone else's situation.

TRGenel tavsiye vermek için 'should' ve 'ought to' kullanılır. Daha güçlü, ciddi sonuçları olan bir uyarı için 'had better' kullanılır. Nazik bir öneriyi soru şeklinde sunmak için 'Why don't you…?' kullanılır. Kendimizi birinin yerine koyarak tavsiye vermek için 'If I were you, I would…' kullanılır.

When?

We use these expressions when exchanging advice within a family or across generations, especially when a polite or respectful tone is needed.

TRAile içinde ya da kuşaklar arasında tavsiye alışverişinde bulunurken, özellikle nazik ya da saygılı bir üslup gerektiğinde bu yapıları kullanırız.

In this advice structure, 'were' is used instead of 'was', even with 'I' (a hypothetical condition).

1 Before reading

Look at the title. What do you think 'the same river, different banks' might mean about generations?
What is one thing your grandparents' generation did differently from yours?

The Same River, Different Banks

Every generation likes to believe it invented independence. Grandparents in Türkiye often describe childhoods spent playing football in the street until dark, with no phone to call home and no need for one — the whole neighbourhood, they say, looked after every child. Their grandchildren, meanwhile, grew up with smartphones in their pockets and a constant stream of messages from worried parents. Which generation was really freer is a question that rarely gets a simple answer.

Sociologists suggest that each generation's outlook is shaped less by personality than by the economic and technological conditions it grows up in. A generation that lived through hardship often values saving money and repairing things rather than replacing them; a generation raised with instant information often values speed, choice and self-expression instead. Neither outlook is wrong — they are simply sensible responses to very different worlds.

The real danger, researchers argue, isn't the generation gap itself but the assumption that it can't be bridged. Families who regularly talk about their different experiences — rather than judging each other by their own generation's standards — tend to pass down both practical skills and emotional closeness. A grandmother who gets her granddaughter to show her how video calls work, and a granddaughter who asks her grandmother how she once cooked for a family of ten on a tight budget, are both quietly closing the same gap.

What do you know about how people communicated before mobile phones?
Does your family have any rules about phones at meals? What do you think of them?

Letters, Landlines and Loud Dinners

Merve's grandfather still keeps a box of handwritten letters from his years working abroad in the 1970s. 'We waited weeks for news,' he tells her, 'and every letter felt like an event.' Merve, who video-calls her cousins in Germany every weekend without a second thought, finds the story almost impossible to imagine — yet she notices that her grandfather remembers the exact words of letters he received fifty years ago, while she sometimes forgets a text message within minutes.

The family's Sunday dinners are where these two worlds collide loudest. Merve's grandmother insists that everyone sit at the table with their phones switched off, a rule she enforces with surprising firmness for someone so soft-spoken otherwise. At first, Merve found the rule old-fashioned and slightly unfair. Over time, though, she noticed that these were the only two hours each week when her whole extended family actually looked at one another while talking.

Merve's mother, caught between both generations, often acts as a translator of sorts — explaining to her own mother why a video call matters as much as a letter once did, and reminding Merve that patience, not just connection, was something her grandfather's generation had in abundance. Nobody in the family has fully convinced the others that their way is best. What they have managed, slowly, is to borrow a little from each generation and build something that works for all three.

EgeDad, Grandma is really upset with me. I don't know what to do.

FatherWhat happened?

EgeI took my laptop to a repair shop instead of asking her cousin to fix it, like she wanted.

FatherAh, I see. You have to understand, Grandma's family always helped each other by getting things done through people they trust, not strangers.

EgeI didn't think of it that way. I just wanted it fixed quickly.

FatherI understand, but to her it probably felt like you didn't trust the family.

EgeShould I call her?

FatherYou'd better call her soon, before it turns into a bigger problem.

EgeWhat should I say?

FatherIf I were you, I'd apologise and explain that you didn't mean any disrespect.

ZehraMy grandmother's family didn't even have a landline telephone until she was almost sixteen.

ZehraWhen I asked her about it, she said she had more freedom in some ways — she could roam the neighbourhood all day without anyone worrying.

ZehraBut she also had far less choice about her own education and career; those decisions were often made for her.

ZehraShe told me that before phones, she used to pass secret notes in class to talk to her friends — which is basically what our group chats are today.

ZehraIt made me realise that every generation finds its own way to stay connected, even without Wi-Fi.
