When can "made" be grammatical?
In sentences like these :
He made me laugh.
He made me work.
made(make) can means force or have someone to do or feel certain feeling, as web pages I searched says.
Also, they say made requires verb or adjective bare infinitive after an object.
But another web page says it can be used like this:
I am making.
I have made.
Should I add an adjective or bare infinitive everytime I specify the object?
Is usage of made followed by object and adjective, or barr infinitive or adjective, categorized and called with particular name, and apllied to every certain case?
(Just like linking verbs are categorized and called that way, and adverbs can be followed after it)
And if I were to use it as second usage with adverb, can I say "I made this machine successfully"? or should I just say "I successfully made this machine"?
