Grammar help please?

Hi,

Could you please correct these sentences for me?

Have is a catenative verb, therefore the answer can be both with ing or without ing, it depends on which one making more sense.


I will have you [ correct / correcting ] my sentences. (Correct sounds better due to a whole event?)

I will have you [ fix / fixing ] my problem. (Fix sounds better?)

I will have you [ look and check / looking and checking ] on them. (Look and check?)

I had it working again.

I have a meeting coming up.

I had no luck finding it.

I had a cleaner cleaning it.


Cheers
