Why it make you sad vs You may can be

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they are quite different in structure and meaning. The first phrase, 'why it make you sad,' is incorrect due to the incorrect verb form 'make' and the missing auxiliary verb 'does.' The second phrase, 'you may can be,' is also incorrect due to the redundant use of 'may' and 'can' together. Each phrase has its own specific issues that need to be addressed.

Why it make you sad

This phrase is incorrect. The verb form 'make' should be changed to 'makes,' and the auxiliary verb 'does' should be added at the beginning.

The correct form should be 'why does it make you sad?' This structure is used to ask about the reason something causes sadness.
  • I can fully understand your feeling and why it make you sad when you think of it. I used to listen to my father. He told me a lot of his life in Khmer Rouge regime.

Alternatives:

  • why does it make you sad?
  • what makes you sad?
  • why is it making you sad?
  • why did it make you sad?
  • why will it make you sad?

You may can be

This phrase is incorrect. The combination of 'may' and 'can' together is redundant in English.

To express possibility, you can use 'may be' or 'can be' separately, but not together. For example, 'you may be right' or 'you can be there.'
