Which one is correct?
1)The words you said made him seemed like a bad person.
2)The words you say makes him seems like a bad person.
3)The words you said made him seems like a bad person.
I'm having trouble regarding the specific time for their usage (If all of them are correct, that is). So are there any explanations regarding those sentences?
