A question about the English language........?

[Your Father]

Okay, I know you say feed this person when you want to say make him EAT this or give him this to EAT. But what do you say when you want to tell a person to make him drink this or give him this to drink, is there any special word??


And, one day, A kid my age came over to my house and my mom told me to go play with him. Could she have said "Make him play with you, this would sound like FORCE him to play with you. I want to say, like, play basketball with him and like, make him play with you. Is there any other way to say this that doesnt sound like you are forcing him to play?? How do you native speakers of english say this???? You americans, that is.
