As I know, in English, there are some verbs that take both present participles and infinitives as object complements.
Here are some examples. I tried to get the car going / to go.
I want you coming / to come on time.
Q1 : Are they different in meanings?
Q2 : Are there some other verbs that can be used in the same way?
Thanks a lot.
