1. The thing was made simple by me. (o)
2. I made the thing simple. (o)
3. I made it done. (o)
4. I made the thing made simple. (??)
If 'the thing' has a passive voice here because the thing was made by me, isn't it grammatical to use 'made' after 'the thing' in sentence 4? (Even though it sounds awkward?)
I have no clues why the sentence 4 is grammatical or ungrammatical. Any answers would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.
