"Make" is an extremely versatile English word. Just as a verb, the OED lists 91 separate meanings in eight major categories. "Make" loves prepositions, and its combination with words like "out," "off," "for," and "up" adds more. Not to mention idiomatic usages (like "make so bold," and "make a play for."), specialized uses in various fields, and dozens of slang usages.

But you've already started: "How to make sentence by MAKE." I will correct that to "How do I make a sentence with the word "make"?

This is easily understood to mean "How do I use "make" in a sentence."
