Hello!

I hope you have all had a great week and are ready for a little English.

Today’s article is about

• the difference between:  Have you cut your hair? and Have you had your hair cut?
• talking about services you have done for you.
• a quiz on the used structure
• the answers to last week’s crossword

The more difficult vocabulary is identified with an asterisk * and a definition is in brackets ( ).

Have you cut your hair?  OR  Have you had your hair cut?

Watch my YouTube video for a complete explanation I hope you like my little odd *  (strange) drawings. Watch until the end to see my favourite part, the “unless” part!

Here is the most important information from the video:

Other possible services we could talk about having done.

We can use this structure to talk about:

• the dentist’s
• an optician’s
• a dry cleaner’s*  (the shop where they professionally clean clothes)
• a photographer
• a tailor* (a person who makes clothes)
• a decorator
• a gardener
• a beauty salon
• a hairdresser’s
• a car mechanic
• a hospital

Or other places where they do a service for us.
