There isn’t necessarilly any difference. But “Make” implies that you apply the pressure yourself. “Have” implies that you arrange for someone else apply the pressure.

To make sb do something is to force them, as in “make the kid take a bath.” They may not want to.

To have sb do something means that it’s something they are able to do and they are willing to do it, as in “I had John fix the roof last month.”

ummmmmmm that makes no sense sooo yeah…sorry cant help u out!

ooooo ok nvm i read some of the answers SB is somebody lol took me a while lol

“Making the do something is like they have no choice…..having them do something is like giving them a “room” to say NO! lol

Like…

“Go shut the door!”

vs.

“Can I have you go shut the door?!?”

making somebody do something would be forcing them to do it; having them doing it would almost be the exact same thing but i guess word usage is a little bit less harsh

if you’re looking for a good way to say it, maybe use forced, insist, compel, urge… but make is better than have

make sb do something is correct

Have is used with 3rd form of verb and passive voice.

Make him do that.

Have it done by him.

make is in the form that you demanded him to do something..

have is, you did something that made him do the thing..

make is more like force or make sure

whereas have is more like “let”.. its softer than make,

i think anyway!
