arranged for someone to do something for us.

The causative is formed with 'have + object + past
participle' The past participle has a passive meaning.
Questions and negations of the verb 'have' are formed with
do/does or did in the past simple.

We also use 'have something done' to talk about an
unpleasant experience.

In informal conversations we can use 'get' instead of 'have'.

repair his car. In the second sentence he did it himself.
The causative can be used with most verb forms and is also
formed with the infinitive and -ing forms.
