Get Susan to do her homework/Have Susan do her homework

[teacherjapan]

(1) Get Susan to do her homework. Don’t help her even if she asks you to.
(2) Have Susan do her homework. Don’t help her even if she asks you to.

Which would you most likely use, Have or Get? Is it a matter of preference? I’d like to know whether both are equally correct or whether one is better than the other. This is part of a translation exercise, so I can’t change the sentence structure.

Perhaps:

Susan needs to do her homework herself. Don't help her even if she asks you to.

"Susan" is normally a girl's name.

Maybe you mean:

Get Susan to do her homework.

Maybe you mean:

Get Susan to do her homework.

You’re right. Thanks.

The first one suggests that more persuasion will be necessary than in the second one. The second sentence doesn't naturally follow either one.

You can't change quoted material.

It's not a good idea to edit the OP after a response. It tends to make the responses look pointless.

I see. I thought edifying would help avoid confusion, but I’m not going to edit from now on. What about “Make Susan do her homework. Don’t help her even if she asks you to”? Does the second sentence naturally follows the first one this time?

You seem to be ignoring post #2.
