NOTES
There is no difference in structure between make and have. But the
meaning is slightly different. When we use have as a causative verb,
there is no use of compulsion, force or authority. The subject might use
some other means such as persuasion, request etc.

Consider these sentences.
Aalam made me stitch clothes. [I did this for him unwillingly]
Aalam got me to stitch clothes. [I did this for him willingly]

When we use 'get' as the causative verb, we use a ‘to infinitive verb’.
I got my younger brother to do my homework. [do my homework]
The meaning is similar to that of have i.e. no use of force, compulsion
or authority.
