Made him do it

Only A does.

That said, the two don't mean the same thing. The made in the first means "forced", whereas the second made is similar to "born".

I see, Ivanhr....

Thanks a lot...

By the way...

"He was made to do it" cannot be understood to mean "He was forced to do it"?

pructus"He was made to do it" cannot be understood to mean "He was forced to do it"?

I wouldn't rule it out if the context suggested it, but B is ambiguous. A is not.

I see....

Thanks Blue Jay!!

pructusDo both A and B mean that he actually did it, if no more context is provided?A. They made him do it.B. He was made to do it.

Yipes! I am surprised at the answers. B is merely the passive form of A. They both indicate that he did it against his will. I don't see how a person can be 'made' (= born) to do something. They can be born to do, or they can

Oh, thanks so much, Mister Micawber!!
