B2.1 10A To have/Get things done. Infograph

Hello, everyone. 
Here's an infograph I've drawn up which I hope will clarify any doubts. Notice the difference in how we use 'get' with reference to payment.
As usual, I'll be happy to clarify any doubts in class.
Regards.
Tom.

B2.1 10A To have/Get things done. Infograph

To have something done	Someone else does it, and you pay.
To get something done	Someone else does it, and you pay.
To get someone to do something (Notice the difference in structure. See p81 4B.)	Someone else does it, but you don’t necessarily pay.
To do something yourself	You do it, without any help
