Rewrite the sentences using the correct form of “have something done”.
Does someone type your essays?
Was his arm broken in a car crash?
The doctor examined her wound.
You should ask someone to collect your mail while you are away.
Will she get someone to check her washing machine?
Explanation: The original sentence uses the verb "type" in the present simple tense ("Does someone type your essays?"). To rewrite it using the "have something done" structure, we change the verb "type" to the correct form "have something done" and add the object pronoun "your essays" before it. The auxiliary verb "do" is also changed to "have" to match the structure.
2. Was his arm broken in a car crash?
Explanation: The original sentence is already in the past simple tense. To use the "have something done" structure in the past, we need to change the verb "broken" to the past participle form "been broken" and add the auxiliary verb "had" before it. Therefore, the rewritten sentence is "Had his arm been broken in a car crash?"
3. She had her wound examined by the doctor.
Explanation: The original sentence states that the doctor examined her wound. To rewrite it using the "have something done" structure, we change the subject "the doctor" to an object pronoun "her," move it before "examined," and add the verb "had" before it. Therefore, the rewritten sentence is "She had her wound examined by the doctor."
4. You should have someone collect your mail while you are away.
Explanation: The original sentence uses the modal verb "should" to express advice, and the verb "ask" to express the action. To rewrite it using the "have something done" structure, we change the verb "collect" to the correct form "have someone collect" and add the object pronoun "your mail" before it. The modal verb "should" is kept in the sentence.
5. Will she have someone check her washing machine?
Explanation: The original sentence uses the future simple tense with the modal verb "will" and the verb "get" to express the action. To rewrite it using the "have something done" structure, we change the verb "check" to the correct form "have someone check" and add the object pronoun "her washing machine" before it. The modal verb "will" is kept in the sentence.
