How to use 'MAKE'

Make

Subject + make + object + bare infinitive (infinitive without 'to') 

'Make' can mean 'force someone to do something that he or she doesn't want to do':

• His mother made him clean his room.
• The teacher made us study very hard.

It can also be used to mean 'cause someone to do something' (the thing can be good or bad):

• That film made me cry.
• My brother often makes me laugh.

If we use 'make' in the passive, we use the infinitive with 'to' instead of the bare infinitive:

• She was made to work on Saturday, even though she hated working at weekends.

We can also use subject + make + object + adjective. This means 'cause the object to be the adjective' (the adjective can be good or bad):

• Her story made me really happy.
• The traffic jam made us late.
