Dear native English speakers,
which would be used?
(a1) I had a bad tooth pulled out.
(a2) I got a bad tooth pulled out.
(b1) I had a bad tooth taken out.
(b2) I got a bad tooth taken out.
(c1) I had a bad tooth drawn out.
(c2) I got a bad tooth drawn out.
(d1) I had a bad tooth removed.
(d2) I got a bad tooth removed.

Thanks in advance.

Hirashin

I would use both versions of A, B, and D. C doesn't sound wrong, so the reason I wouldn't use it is probably just my dialect.

I would always use 'have' not 'got' and would probably leave out the 'out' in c1
The out is not wrong, but it is assumed in the phrase.

Click to expand...

I didn't know British people don't say "I got a bad tooth pulled/taken out", etc... That seems to be a regional difference between the U.K. and the U.S.

Is it that you say "I had a bad tooth drawn." Right?

I would probably say
"I had a bad tooth taken out"
Using "drawn" sounds a little old fashioned, but still correct.
