Make or give?

[bridge78]

If you describe something, do you MAKE or GIVE a description?

'Give/provide/issue a description'── quoted from http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/description

I would usually use give. However, what's the context?

 

[bridge78]

You want to say that you describe something for someone. So you MAKE/GIVE a description for him/her (I do not mean ABOUT him/her)

 

[Tdol]

I would give someone a description of something.
