observe, listen to 等。

“have＋宾语＋过去分词”的几种用法：

We had the machine repaired just now.
我们刚刚让人修了这台机器。
(2)表示“遭遇某种不幸；受到打击”等
My sister had her wallet stolen on a bus last month.

(3)表示自己完成某事或自己参与完成某事
Li Hua hopes that his English teacher will suggest a good way to have his English
improved in a short period of time.

我不会容忍任何反对她的言论。
3．表示“希望，愿望或要求”等意义的词，如：want, wish, like, expect, order 等。
