make sb.do sth./be made to do
make作为及物动词,有一种特殊用法,即“使役用法”,在表示“使（要）某人（事物）做什么（怎么样）”时,它除了要有一个“宾语”之外,还要求宾语后面带上一个宾语补足语,整个句子才能完整,这种“宾语＋宾语补足语”是英语简单句的五种基本句型之一.
可作宾语补足语的词或词组有：1、动词原形,即不带to的动词不定式,如：He made me stay with him.他让我和他在一起.
2、形容词（词组）如：This made all the street as light as day.这使整条街道亮如白昼.He tried to make them happy.他设法使他们高兴.It'll made me so happy.这件事可使我如此高兴.
3、名词（词组）如：I would make you king over the earth.我会让你做国王统治世界.He made her his wife.他娶她为妻.
4、有时可用介词短语.如：He asked us to make ourselves at home.他要我们不要拘束.5、过去分词如：What make him so frightened?是什么原因令他如此害怕?
