Should I use burn or burns? Why?

Answer 1

Toni:

The correct sentence in English is:
"Coffee makes my stomach burn".

I cannot give you the technical grammatical reason for this answer. But I would not say, for example, that "Fire makes the wood burnS" or "Excessive sun makes my skin burnS". In all these examples, the correct word is "...makes the wood... or ... makes my skin BURN (NO "S")". Perhaps an English grammarian will give you the technical answer.

Answer 2

Thanks Lazarus. What I want to know is about the right way of using "burn" since I assume "stomach" as "it" I add an "s" at the end of "burn", however a friend of mine told me that sounds weird.
