    Faire faire/aide
    Message de mhgb posté le 20-09-2017 à 15:48:18 (S | E | F)
    Hello,
    Could anybody tell me, please, what following sentences are right or not ? For me, each time, both sentences are correct, isn’t it aren't they ?
    John got his brother to bring his heavy bag / John got his brother brought his heavy bag
    She had the children do their homework / She had the children done their homework
    Thank you for help

    Hello,
    John got his brother to bring his heavy bag ...ok
    John got his brother brought his heavy bag ...no, that doesn't mean anything
    She had the children do their homework ...ok
    She had the children done their homework ...no, that doesn't mean anything
    When you use the past participle: brought/done and others, you turn into the passive voice, which doesn't work here.
