Synonyms of "Daughter" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between i got my daughter to study and i had my daughter study ?
A:
(It's a subtle distinction, because when someone works for you, they don't want to do the work, but you don't need to convince them, because you are already paying them. In general, having somebody do something (as opposed to getting them to do it) often implies that they will get paid for doing it. But again, not always. Sometimes you just have your friend help you, because they they are your friend. Or you can get your employee to do something. The difference in meaning used to be larger than it is now.)
