make the case usually is only part of a phrase: “I would make the case that ...... I deserve a million dollars.”
made my case would refer to a case we already know — “... and those are ten reasons I deserve a million dollars. I think I have made my case”. “Made ones case” is a third person version of this, where “one” is the subject:
I make my case
You make your case
He makes his case
One makes ones case
They aren’t really that different! It’s just a difference of how they fit into a larger phrase!

Yes, this is pretty hard. Actually I don’t quite understand your explanation, haha. But you said they aren’t really that different. So I make my sense in that way. By the way there’s another question comes up. Ones means they or something?
- 英語 (美國)
They aren’t really different, but the main difference is the reference:
One makes ONES case <— assumes you KNOW what the case is that they are making. Since the case BELONGS to them, you can assume it’s their general opinion
One makes THE case <— needs an explanation, what case are they making? This has to be followed by the word “that” and then what the case IS.
Examples:
- “he thinks the company should stop using paper. he made his case yesterday”
- “I didn’t know what to do, but then he made the case that we should stop using paper”
the explanation comes AFTER in “THE case” because it is telling you what THE is referring to.
In HIS case, you need to think about what previous sentences said about his opinion, and then assume that’s what he’s talking about.
So the main difference is whether you need to explain what the “case” is after...

That’s my best try, but if you use the wrong one, it won’t be hard for people to understand you! You’re right to know not to worry too hard, because they are almost the same!

Thanks a lot! Would you replace the words "case and make" to other words? There two words' image is so vague for me.
- 英語 (美國)
Here are other English words that could replace them in this phrase—
Make: say, argue, show
Case: point, idea, opinion

Thanks! I often watch PBS newshour and these phrases come up so often. So I really wanted to know what these meanings are. I was always confusing. So I’ll try next time whether I can understand them or not. I really had a good time with you 👍Thanks a lot. Have a good night if it’s in the night over there.
