Make

Make can be used as both verb (make a cake) and noun (What make of car do you have?). And, of course, as with most other words in English, each of them can have more than one meaning, so access to a good dictionary is essential.

As a verb, the meaning is often associated with the concept of preparing, producing, changing or creating things: I’ve just made a chocolate cake.
