I know you say feed this little kid when you wanna tell somebody to MAKE a kid EAT something. Yeah, so is there any special way to MAKE him DRINK THIS, or that's the only way to say it??? I only want Native English Speakers or Americans to answer this question. In this sentence, too Could I have also said I only want native speakears OF english to answer this question?? Would that be right?? I am sorry, I just think about every single word and different ways to say everything when I am speaking english.. How do you say this stuff, americans???

If you only want americans to answer, don't post in Yahoo UK & Ireland!

In my (british) opinion, you could say, 'Give the child a drink'.

you can say "make a kid eat something" or you could say "get the kid to eat someting", usualy the word "make" refers to an action as in "make bread" but with regional dialect words are used as and when

You can't MAKE anyone eat or drink anything. I don't see anyone ever using that in a sentence - not in England anyway.
