Make...

I've a question. I'm quite confusedm about this.

Is there any rule in determining the patterns of the word following by 'make'..

(1) You make everything sound so easy.(Adjective )

(2) You make everything sounds so easy. (verb)

(2) You make people aware of this issue.(adjective)

(3) He makes me thinking of that.(Ing form)

I can understand you are confused. (Adjective ) Correct grammar but sound isn't an adjective; it's a verb, a plain/bare infinitive . This is the only verb form that is correct after all active forms of make.
