1 Hi, dear all I just came across this sentence on other webpage I always have my bedroom ____ tidy and clean. A. look B. looking C. looked D. looks The answer given is *A. However, I think *B seems to be OK according to the explanation in my dictionary have to persuade or order someone to do something- have sb doing sth, have sb do sth especially for AE So it seems to me it is a BE/AE difference. Am I right? 2 Hi, dear all I just came across this sentence on other webpage I always have my bedroom ____ tidy and clean. A. look B. looking C. looked D. looks The answer given is *A. However, I think *B seems to be OK according to the explanation in my dictionary have to persuade or order someone to do something- have sb doing sth, have sb do sth especially for AE So it seems to me it is a BE/AE difference. Am I right? I think most BE speakers would choose B, Kenny. 3 Thank you for clearing it up for me, Thomas Tompion. 4 I think A and B are both possible, but mean slightly different things. If you use A "look", it means "I always make my bedroom tidy and clean". If you use B "looking", the "have" is possesive and it means something like "I keep my bedroom tidy and clean". The difference is infinitesimal, and I agree with TT; as a BE speaker, I would choose B. Although frankly it's not a structure I use much; I would say "I keep my bedroom clean and tidy". 5 I'm pretty sure your are right Kenny. It would be rather stiff in BE to say "have something look..." it's a form of the subjunctive isn't it? As you probably know, this is mostly avoided in BE. I think the closest natural BE form of this would be "I always keep my bedroom looking clean". 6 Thanks, Matching Mole and liliput, for your kind reply. 7 Sorry but I'm a bit confused. Is "my bedroom" a person? Kenny wrote "to persuade or order someone to do something- have sb doing sth, have sb do sth especially for AE" If it is a thing, should it be C-looked ? 'cause I found this in my dictionary OAD 8th Edition 22 used with a past participle ~ sth done to suffer the effects of what sb else does to you She had her bag stolen. 23 used with a past participle ~ sth done to cause sth to be done for you by sb else You've had your hair cut! We're having our car repaired. Thanks 8 tanp0p0 I agree with you at one point. According to the formula of the "have sb. doing smt.", we shouldn't use "looking" here. Other thing doesn't seem correct because in your examples, the action is done by somebody else, not by the subject so using V3 is correct. But in the question, the subject does the action. 9 Hello everybody, I read the definition and understood from the post that they are the same structures, but in AE and BE. Unless in the letters from the same American person I found both structures. ....let's have Alex do it for us ....let's have Alex doing it for us My question is "Do these structures have really the same meaning? Or maybe the first is common for regular situations but the first is just for temporary ones? have to persuade or order someone to do something- have sb doing sth, have sb do sth especially for AE Thanks in advance 10 "Let's have Alex doing it for us" does not make much sense to me. Using "do" is correct. Were both these sentences really in a letter together? Could you provide more context because it sounds very strange. Oh and I don't think either structure is strictly AE or BE. One might be used more often than another though.

Or maybe the first is common for regular situations but the first is just for temporary ones? have to persuade or order someone to do something- have sb doing sth, have sb do sth especially for AE Thanks in advance I think both are possible, Belissimo, but that they have different meanings 1. Let's have X fix the drains - a one-off action, something that's not going to take very long. 2. Let's have X teaching the child - a more continuous action; the continuous form suggests that this is going to be a long process. The form in 1. is possible in 2. but the form in 2. would be unlikely in 1., I'd say. The difference is very similar to that between the two possible futures 1. X will teach the child, 2. X will be teaching the child. Last edited May 15, 2011 12 Thanks a lot Thomas, I think it's more clear for me now. 13 2. Let's have X teaching the child - a more continuous action; the continuous form suggests that this is going to be a long process. Should I take it as being a repeated action? For example, Why is John picking up the boss's daughter from school these days? The boss has had him picking her up for the time being. a repeated action for a certain period of time My understanding is correct? Thank you so much for your help. Last edited May 5, 2014

8 Hello Newbie, 1. I can't have them playing round here 2. I can have them playing round here For me, 1 suggests the impatient comment of a busy parent whose children are interrupting the work in hand. 2 however doesn't suggest the welcoming, amiable comment of such a parent in such a situation. So I would say, no, the idiom requires the negative. Not to be confused with another idiomatic use of "have" 3. "I want to go away next weekend, but I don't know what to do about the children." "Oh well, we can have them, if you like." — where "we can have them" = "we can provide accommodation, etc. for them". Or 4. I had those children playing outside my window again this afternoon. — which = "Those children were playing..."; but the "I had" suggests "mild annoyance". As for other tenses, I would say no; or at least, I can't think of an example. It may be worth noting that the "I will not" in this structure has an implication of "I am unwilling", rather than simple futurity. I'd be interested to know what other members think. Best wishes, MrP ___ PS sorry about the late reply, Newbie!
