  1. When you want to show who you ask, you can use get + someone + to + verb or have + someone + verb. a. I get my brother to fix my car. b. I didn't pay to have someone repair my dishwasher.

  2. When who you ask is not important, use get or have + something + past particle.
    a. I get my car fixed at my uncle's garage once a year.

  3. You can use need to talk about things that should be done.
    a. need + passive infinitive. Like : The TV needs to be fixed. b. need + verb + ing. Like : The screen needs adjusting.

  4. Strategy plus a. Ooh! = when you see a problem.
    b. Uh-oh! = when you suddenly discover a problem.
    c. Oops!/Whoops! = when you make a small mistake.
    d. Ow!/Ouch! = "That hurt." / "It sounds like that hurt". e. Shoot! = "Oh, no!"(a general reaction) f. Ugh!/Yuck! = "It's disgusting."
