To be made

To be made

@teacherpaul2018

TO BE MADE OF - use it when you can see the material something is made OF. "The table is made of wood" - can you actually see anything wooden? You can, so use "of".

TO BE MADE FROM - use it when the material is not recognized. Just like in the example above - you see "melted", so the caps are gone, you have plastic mass, there's a long way FROM caps to the bench. This is how you may want to remember it - if it's a long production process FROM material A to B, then it's "made from". I could've said "the bench was made of bottle caps" but in this case you could actually see the caps.

TO BE MADE OUT OF - use it when the very function of a thing has been transformed, as in these examples:

- They had a fence made out of bicycle wheels.
- In their apartment I saw nice candle
holders made out of beer cans

TO BE MADE WITH - usually you'll have to use this one talking about ingredients of a meal/drink.

- The cake is made with ten eggs, which give it a rich taste.
- The pudding was made with evaporated milk.
