Why is this not used?

A causal verb cannot be subjected to the form of that infinitive or participle but should be stored as participle or infinitive. It can also be used in conjunction with a term that is infinitive, where the object is not to infinitive. Your don’t say like

I got my car fixed. I need to fix it!

Why are we in this world? How was it invented. Is it possible to use t-shirt as futuristic sigil? What is the difference between remembering this v (in a different way) and remembering to V (in your case)?

Can’t something see in it’s head as below? I got my car fixed

(The car was fixed) I got my car to

be fixed (The car was going to be fixed)

As English Adam says, that construction plus the passive infinitive implies purpose, not future.

“I got the car to be fixed” implies that the purpose of getting the car was in order to be fixed and doesn’t mean anything else except that the car has already been “got”.

In Causatives, I get “to” but the way to change the tense is through altering “get” not by changing the infinitive.

I

love my car. I will get a mechanic to repair it. What are the mechanics options? (Future)

This link is a pretty good resource on several different causative verbs.

What is the “Verb to Verb” structure in the picture?

So I remembered to do it. When I got really sick, I stopped smoking. I had an epidural. I wanted to go to a movie I would watch where I wanted to go – smoke first then stop. (want then go).

I got it to be fixed” is good, it means you got it (bought it, or chose it etc) in order to fix it. (second action) (acting, passive) but still logic is fine!!
