Exercise or exercising or both
The teacher had the students [exercise / exercising ] all kinds of math problems for the final exam.
¦ Exercise or exercising, which one is correct?
I understand (that) it is usually Have + someone or something + Verb or past participle. But, I also heard from somewhere that you can say Have someone or something + Present Participle (ING) modifying the noun in front of it. Thus, I am confused.
¦ For the sentence, can the answer be both?
¦ If so, what is the difference in its meanings (interpretation)?
Could you help me clarify it? Thanks.
