1. Explain it simply
Frame: Cause + 使 + Person + result (a feeling, state, or change).
The cause is often a thing or event, and it sits before 使 as the subject.
使 is more formal and written than 让, and it links to a mental or state change.
Keep 使 between the cause and the person: 这件事使大家很高兴.
2. Show examples
这件事使大家都很高兴。
Zhè jiàn shì shǐ dàjiā dōu hěn gāoxìng.
This matter made everyone very happy.
使 links cause to feeling
每天运动使身体更健康。
Měitiān yùndòng shǐ shēntǐ gèng jiànkāng.

the cause sits before 使

使 introduces the change
3. Share a tip
Reach for 使 in more formal writing; in everyday speech 让 does the same job.
