    Made out/out of
    Message from a_limon posted on 11-06-2012 at 16:52:40 (D | E | F)
    Hello!

    Could you tell me please if it is necessary to use "out" in the following sentences?
    This table is made out of wood.
    The house is built out of stones.
    I built this house out of sand.
    Thank you for answers.

    Hello

    The word "out" is optional in all cases.

    Thank you, notrepere.
    The "optional" means that these sentences could be written with "out" and without "out" with the saving the same sense?
    This house made outof sand=This house made (built) of sand.
    I built this house out of red bricks.=I built out this house of red bricks.=I built this house of red bricks.

    Hello

    Yes, you can leave the word "out" out. It means the same thing. Although "made of..." is more common than "built of..."
