  We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something.  • I bought a new car. It is very fast. → I bought a new car that is very fast .  • She lives in New York. She likes living in New York. → She lives in New York, which she likes . A  defining relative clause  tells which noun we are talking about: I like the woman who lives next door. (If I don't say 'who lives next door', then we don't know which woman I mean).

The form is 'subject + have + object + past participle'. I had my car washed. John will have his house painted. Get + object + past participle (get something done) We can also use 'subject + get + object + past participle'. This has the same meaning as 'h...
