What's the difference?
Hello everyone!
first time I'm writing and I hope you can help me. I'm teaching business English in Italy. What's the difference between produce, manufacture and make? Manufacture is used for things that are produced in large quantities with machinery, so in what particular cases is it used? Is it used only for car companies or can I use produce as well?
thanks for your help

Not really a grammar question, is it? But here's what I think: "Make", "produce", and "manufacture" are synonyms and so can be used interchangeably. Here are the subtle differences.
