  1. I made Mary take out the trash
  2. I usually have her take out the trash
  3. I'm having her take out the trash
  4. Did you have him take out the trash?
  5. Have you had her take out the trash

  • The noun "trash" is rarely plural in the US.

  • The sentences are grammatical (but 3,4,5 not very idiomatic). You would only speak in this way if the person is a servant or other employee. Commented May 31, 2020 at 13:50
