[QUOTE=Farrah Zafar;272406][B]They made the driver to stop.[/B][/QUOTE]

The best would be: They asked the driver to stop.

It was quite an easy paper. I was astonished at the hype created by some previous CSS candidates that this paper is tough. As a matter of fact, i knew all of the MCQs and got all 10 correct. If only they allowed and took into consideration a candidate's extra attempt of MCQs *sigh*

[QUOTE=Farrah Zafar;272406][B]They made the driver to stop.[/B][/QUOTE]

as far as my knowledge is concerned i believe made k baad "to" nahi lagta...
we normally say we made him do that, i made her go to school etc...so technically it isn't right.
They asked the driver to stop or they ordered the driver to stop is the right format
