| Jan 31, 2022 at 16:19 | comment | added | gomadeng | The asker's question : 1. if 'have done it' comes from 'have it done' 2. where the name 'past participle' comes and my answer 1. it's not related to each other 2. participle comes from the original verb and past is a variation of past form of a verb. Please read what the asker is asking for. | |

| Jan 31, 2022 at 10:27 | comment | added | gomadeng | 'have it done' is a totally different concept from 'have done it'. The questioner should have had more understanding about the usage of 'have': (causative) in 'have it done' and (auxiliary) in 'have done it'. That's why I hadn't addressed the issue which you think of as the topic in the question and which I don't think of as the topic. | |
| Jan 31, 2022 at 10:08 | comment | added | Matt E. Эллен | The question is "when did 'have it done' change to 'have done it'". Your answer does not address this. The asker already demonstrates an adequate understanding of the perfect tense and past participle as they are currently used. | |
| Jan 31, 2022 at 10:02 | comment | added | gomadeng | @MattE.Эллен Yeah, that's what I thought to make the questioner be surely aware of the concept of past participle. It seems your eyes do not see why this site exists. | |
| Jan 30, 2022 at 23:57 | comment | added | Matt E. Эллен | your answer does not touch on the topic in the question and seems to be overly wordy. | |
