Causative verb
Hello, teachers.
I'm studying causative verbs and I have two questions.
1) Is it impossible to use "let+~ing"?
Since she wished, I let her watching TV.
2) Does "having+~ing" have the samemeaning of "keep+~ing"?
(a)She had me waiting for a long time.
(b)She kept me waiting for a long time.
Do (a) and (b) express the same meaning?
Please answer two questions. Thank you for reading this.
