make sense
make up
make something a little harder
make ends meet/ make both ends meet

make tea :)

make a fuss about/over something--as in He's making a fuss about nothing, or If you make a fuss over the small budget items, what will it be like when we discuss the big ones?

make a fuss over someone--Treat someone with excessive attention, solicitude, or affection, as in Whenever they visit their Grandma, she makes a fuss over the children.

;)Good day, everyone!
