Notes for teachers
The test moves from basic form (have/get + object + past participle) to the active causative and then to meaning, error spotting and more complex tenses. Distractors target frequent B2 errors: using the base form instead of the past participle, confusing 'have someone do' with 'get someone to do', wrong word order, and double tense marking in questions ('Did you had…'). As a follow-up, ask students to write five sentences about services they use or things they have recently had done, using at least three different tenses.
