| Apr 9, 2020 at 19:15 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Quite separately, did you notice "Why we can't use 'make' in this sentences" has more problems than the Question you hoped to Ask, which is partly why it belongs not here but in English Language Learners? "Why we can't use 'make' " could be acceptable in some longer sentences… Here, you needed "Why can we not use 'make' "… Does that difference make sense to you? Even beneath that "… this sentences" must always be "this sentence". Again, does that difference make sense to you? | |
| Apr 1, 2020 at 2:54 | comment | added | Hot Licks | Oh, I see what you're saying. I make, you make, he makes, it makes, they make. "It makes" is 3rd-person singular, and so "makes" is the proper verb form. Likewise, "the news" is singular (strange, I know) and so uses the 3rd-person singular form -- "makes". | |
