To-infinitive

My name is Seema, and I'm here to teach you a lesson on since part expressions with the word make.

You know, make generally is used to explain the word create.

You make something, you make a cake, right, or you produce something.

But the great thing about English is that you don't need to know really big words to speak good English.

Even if you know this word, you can speak a lot off English and speak really well.

You know how you simply have to pare this word with a proposition or an adverb, and you will come out with some really smart expressions by using this simple word.

Now, in grammar, these smart expressions are also called as phrase a war bs.

And believe me, when you use phrase of orbs, you are going to sound like a really fluent speaker.

In fact, a lot of native speakers frequently use phrases of orbs or small expressions with many of orbs.

But today I will take you through the expressions with the orb make.

Now we have paired this word make with the proposition up.

Okay, But now make will no longer mean create.

Because now that we've paired these two words together, they come together to mean something totally different.

So when I say to make up, it simply means to forgive each other.

The couple decided to make up after last night's fight.

So, uh, as you can see there not looking very happy, you're quite angry at each other.

I'm guessing the guy probably burned dinner last night and they had a big fight.

So it's fine now because they have decided to make up or they've decided to forgive each other.

We can use it in another sentence by saying, Why don't we just make up and forget everything that happened?

Okay, so another couple or maybe just friends, they're obviously going through a disagreement of some sort, but they want to just make up.

They wanna for give each other on, forget everything that happened.

Okay, We have another expression which is make up for now.

Please note that we have make up, but we also have another proposition.

So we've got two propositions on the expression is make up for it.

It means to compensate, or it means to repay, or it means to reimburse.

I mean, each of these words, they mean the exact same thing.

But what does it mean to compensate or repay or remembers?

So compensate means to make sure that a loss is kind off.

So let's say, for example, you are in the business and the business is not doing too well.

But you want to compensate by kind of working extra or maybe making better investments.

So you are gonna make sure that you repay or you compensate by reducing the loss.

So you say I didn't exercise last week, but this week I'm made up for it.

You didn't exercise, so there was some loss.

The loss was that your diet plan did not really go in the direction that you wanted it to do.

I have mentioned the word made up because it happens to be the past tens off the word make.

OK, so you've got to also pay attention to the tents.

If you are saying a sentence in the past tense or referring to something in the past like last week, then you will use made up.

You will change the form, but the expression essentially stays the same.

Okay, then we have another sentence to help you on this time.

You could say we need to make up for the loss due to negligence.

So over here we've got some gentlemen sitting in an office in a board meeting discussing their work, and I'm assuming that they're probably going through a certain financial loss in their company.

But they wanna make up for the loss due to their negligence.

They want to repay they wantto remorse and see how they can make it right.

Next expression is make off another proposition used with the word make to give you another smart expression.

It means to understand or to make sense off something.

Both of these expressions mean the same thing.

When you understand something, you kind of see things more clearly when you can make sense of something.

You kind of see things more clearly and how to use that in the sentence.

You could say I don't know what to make off his behavior.

He's quite erratic, and he's probably not behaving like he usually does.

So you're simply saying I don't know what to make off his behavior.

It just means that you're not able to make sense of his behavior.

Okay, so you must use the sevens very often on this expression.

You could also say Ms Ria is quite strange.

So we've got this lady here and she's obviously very different.

And when that happens, you can always say, Oh, did you see that girl?

So make off is basically used to say that you understand, or you can make sense of something.

We have another expression which is make out.

It means to see things for what they really are.
