As for "have" you gave wrong examples without verbs after "have".              < "I will have my hair cut" >              "Cut" is not a verb.              Bye, Anton!       Alexander Koryagin       fido.english_tutor,local.cc.ak 2023              ---         * Origin: nntp://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 19/10 37 90/1 105/81 106/201 123/130 131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 142/104 153/7715 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/5003 282/1038 291/111 301/1 305/3 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 319 2119 322/0 757 335/364 341/66 234 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 712/848 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 221/6 1 320/219 229/426           |
