EC#1 Quiz Answers: HOW TO USE: made of ~ made from ~ made with ~ made out of ~

English Challenge #1 Extra Homework.

If you haven't seen the video FIRST, watch it HERE!

The week's challenge was HOW TO USE:

made of ~
made from ~
made with ~
made out of ~

The answer: Most native English speakers do NOT distinguish. We mix them up. BUT, there are some rules:

Made of ~ does not change form (house—still bricks, shirt—still cotton)

Made from ~ changes form (paper from trees, wine from grapes)  

                     (cannot reconstitute--cannot go back to trees/grapes)

Made with ~ care/love/meaning OR a mixture (A cake is made with eggs, 

                     flour, butter, sugar)

Made out of ~ the source (especially ONE source/ingredient)—

                     wine/cotton/plastic/wood. My remote control is made out of 

                     plastic. 

It's a little confusing. And in most situations, more than one answer is possible. But NOT always!
