Make a check Meaning in English
expression
Definition
To write out or fill in a check as a form of payment. In some contexts, it can also mean to create or issue a check for someone.
Usage & Nuances
Slightly formal, mostly used in banking or payment contexts. Americans usually say 'write a check' rather than 'make a check.' 'Make out a check' is also common and means the same thing. Not used when talking about checking something (as in 'to check').
