Grammar
have +obj+ v/v-ing?
Hi,
1.'Jane had the waiter bring her some tea.'
Could we use the second sentence instead of the first one? Do they mean the same?
2.'Jane had the waiter bringing her some tea.'
According to my dictionary, 'have someone+ v/v-ing' means 'cause someone to do something' like the sentences above. Do they convey the same meaning or when to use 'have +v' and when to use 'have+obj+v-ing?
Thanks
