VERB + NOUN + PAST PARTICIPLE
Sound symbols

Verbs of perception and have (= cause) are the most frequently occur­ring characteristic verbs in this pattern. The construction has a strong resemblance to Patterns 9 and 10 in meaning, except that the phrase following the characteristic verb is passive rather than active.

I have heard that piece played many times.

I saw that work done.

I am having a suit made.

These constructions have a' superficial resemblance to Pattern 15a in which a past participle is used adjectivally.

I consider this job finished.

There are a number of differences, however, between the two patterns. See Chapter 12.
