Make it clean vs Get it clean - difference?
I would like to know if there is a difference in the following:
Get it clean! Make it clean!
Get it wet! Make it wet!
And which of the following are suitable:
Make the baby calm
Get the baby calm
Shut the baby up
Solution 1:
Get is rather more peremptory. It is more likely to be used in situations where there is a difference in power between the person giving the order and the person on the receiving end.
In practice, alternatives to your examples, such as Clean it and Calm the baby down, are more likely in most situations. But it is impossible to say exactly what might be required without knowing the precise context. It would depend on the relationship between the two people involved and what has gone on previously in the conversation.
