Is the following sentence correct?:
He has her training for the olympics.
or do I always have to say,
He has her train for the olympics.
Is there some rule that makes sentences like the first one correct?
causative plus present progressive

Re: causative plus present progressive
Both constructions are perfectly possible, the first having a progressive meaning.
