Hi,
Please check these sentences and correct them.
1. Peter had the taxi wait/waiting. [In general, "wait" is much more natural, isn't it?]
2. While Peter had the taxi wait/waiting, the fare was being charged. [In this context, "waiting" is much more natural, isn't it?]
3. Peter made the bus wait, so we could take it. [This is OK, isn't it?]
4. Peter made the bus waiting, so we could take it. [This is incorrect, isn't it?]
5. Peter made the bus keep/go waiting, so the passengers complained. [This is OK, isn't it?]
Thanks in advance.
