@oristarA,
Quote:Ah, McTag, I meant that "Drug A makes the virus to resist drug B" is also okay.
Okay or not in your eye? Why and why not.
Not okay.
It's not really wrong I suppose, but it sounds very awkward and not colloquial.
"causes the virus to resist" sounds right, and there is very little difference as you see.
But "makes the virus to resist" just sounds clunky.
Examples: Miss Jones felt compelled to resist his advances.
The scientist made a virus to resist the infection...that's okay, but has a slightly different meaning, "made" meaning "created" and not "compelled".
