Hello, everyone! This is Kate.

Welcome to my podcast. Today we are going to study one very interesting and important grammar, which is gonna help you to sound like a native speaker.

Ready?-Let’s go!


Okay, imagine that you need to go to the hairdressers. Your hair is long and obviously it’s time to do something with it. How would you tell this to your companion?  

“I’m gonna cut my hair?”, but you are not doing it yourself, so, there is a better option.

If you are getting some services, there is a construction which simplifies everything.

To have something done.

Listen to my examples:

I have my hair cut every month.
I’m having my hair cut right now.
I’ve decided. I will have my hair cut!

The verb have is used like any other verb and it follows all the rules.

Present simple: I have my windows cleaned every week. Someone cleans them for me.
Present Perfect: I have just had my dinner cooked. Someone cooked it for me.
Past Continuous: I was having my homework checked yesterday.


You see, it’s super easy and handy!


Practise yourself, here are some sentences in the description below:

I didn't cook my dinner myself. Someone prepared it for me.
I usually don't clean the windows by myself.
I have never cut my hair myself
I will not fix my car. My dad will do it for me.
I won’t check my blood pressure myself.

너를 안으면 풀꽃 냄새가 난다
세상에 오직 하나 있는 꽃,
아무도 이름 지어 주지 않는 꽃,
네게서는 나만 아는 풀꽃 냄새가 난다.
