thank you so much for your helpMake him scared, is an odd expression. We would rather say, Scare him. This is the form: Do (to) him. Like frighten him, hurt him, pay him, lift him, heal him, tickle him. These are among the hundreds of standard transitive verbs--the workhorses of English verbs.

Does this help?
