Hi, I have two questions regarding "to make":
A) Which is correct and/or more natural? -
1st. "Shadow makes me to feel better in such a hot day."
2nd. "Shadow makes me feeling better in such a hot day."
3rd. "Shadow makes that I feel better in such a hot day."
Maybe there is a better way to say it?
B) Can we use "to cause" and "to make" from (A) interchangeably? For instance, does the sentence "Shadow causes that I feel better in such a hot day." mean the same as the sentence (A3)?
Thanks in advanced,
Nyggus |

A. I think the right answer to your question is:
"Shadow makes me feel better in such a hot day."  |

I'd say: Shade makes me feel better on such a hot day. I wouldn't use either 'cause' or 'make' with 'that I' |

"A swift rewiev process causes publishing is fast." |

Cause + adjective doesn't work |
