XXX-Make you the information master
MH hiểu như vầy:
Câu này cú pháp sử dụng make so sth nghĩa là làm cho ai cái gì
Ví dụ make you a dress => may cho em cái đầm.
Vậy câu trên có nghĩa là: XXX làm cho bạn một ông chủ thông tin.
Có ai hiểu khác không?

May I discuss this topic?
The pattern "make + sb+ sth" has two meanings:
1. Create (1):
She made us all coffee.

2. Appoint (to elect or choose sb as sth) (1,3):
She made him (as/to be) her assistant.
(Verb + Direct object + Object complement)

Therefore, "make you a dress" has the first meaning.
"make you the information master" has the second meaning.

3.To cause sb to be/become sth: = to make sth of sb
Ex: We'll make a tennis player of you yet.
However, In reference (2), there is the example like this:
We make our child a singer. (=We make a singer of our child?)


Maybe I am not right. Could you help me, please?
