The purpose of this study was to explore the usage of make in various semantic and grammatical patterns by Korean learners of English with emphasis on token and type frequencies and the types and plausible sources of errors. Towards this end, the make constructions in the Korean subcorpus of ICLE were examined. Results showed that the Korean learners were limited in their use of the major meanings of make. They relied mostly on its productive, delexical, and conventional senses. The verb make was prone to errors with misuses accounting for forty-five percent of the token occurrences of make patterns. Verb choice errors took up the largest proportion of deviant uses followed by article deletion/addition errors. Misuses of make patterns could be attributed to the inextricable interplay of L1 influence, intralingual development, and the language learning context.
