brand

make1. 'brand'

A brand is a product that has its own name, and is made by a particular company. You usually use brand to talk about things that you buy in shops, such as food, drink, and clothes.

This is my favourite brand of cereal.I bought one of the leading brands.2. 'make'

Don't confuse brand with make. You use make to talk about the names of products such as machines or cars, which last for a long time.

This is a very popular make of bike.

Be Careful!
Don't use the plural form of a noun after brand of or make of. For example, don't talk about 'a make of vehicles'. Say 'a make of vehicle'.

Be Careful!
Don't talk about the 'mark' of a product. For example, don't say 'What mark of coffee do you drink?' Say 'What brand of coffee do you drink?' Don't say 'What mark of car do you drive?' Say 'What make of car do you drive?'

make

Make is a very common verb which is used in many different ways. The past tense and -ed participle of make is made.

1. performing an action

Make is most often used to say that someone performs an action. For example, if someone suggests something, you can say that they make a suggestion. If someone promises something, you can say that they make a promise.

I think that I made the wrong decision.He made a short speech.

Here is a list of common nouns that you can use with make in this way:

arrangement	choice	comment	decision	effort
enquiry	journey	mistake	noise	plan
point	promise	remark	sound	speech
suggestion	tour	trip	visit

Don't use 'make' when you are talking generally about action, rather than referring to a particular action. Instead use do. For example, if you are unsure what action to take, don't say 'I don't know what to make'. Say 'I don't know what to do'.

What are you going to do at the weekend?You've done a lot to help us.2. making an object or substance

If you make an object or substance, you construct or produce it.

Asha makes all her own clothes.They make furniture out of recycled plastic.

You can also say that someone makes a meal or a drink.

I made some breakfast.See cook

When make is used to talk about constructing or producing something, it can have an indirect object. You say that you make someone something, or make something for them.

I'll make you a drink.She made a copy for her colleague.3. making someone do something

If someone forces you to do something, you can say that they make you do it.

You've got to make him listen.Mom made us clean up the mess.

Be Careful!
In active sentences like these, don't use a to-infinitive after make. Don't say, for example, 'You've got to make him to listen'.

However, in passive sentences you must use a to-infinitive.

They were made to pay for the damage.One woman was made to wait more than an hour.4. used to mean 'be'

Make is sometimes used instead of 'be' to say how successful someone is in a particular job or role. For example, instead of saying 'He will be a good prime minister', you can say 'He will make a good prime minister'.

You'll make a great teacher.They made a good team.See brand - make

mark

make1. 'mark'

A mark is a small stain or damaged area on a surface.

...grease marks.There seems to be a dirty mark on it.

A mark is also a number or letter which indicates your score in a test or examination.

You need 120 marks out of 200 to pass.

Note that in American English, the word for this is usually points.

I got 30 points on the test out of 60.

Mark sometimes appears in the name of a vehicle or machine, followed by a number.

...his Mark II Ford Cortina.2. 'make'
