made of vs making of

[NeeSoo]

Hi all
Is it true to say:
What is your jacket made of?
or
What is your jacket making of?

and another question:
The Open University aspires to reach the less fortunate people.
or
The open University clues to reach the less fortunate people?

another one:
Army has been defeated in Island in the last few days.
or
Army has been handcuffed in Island in the last few days.

Thank you very much

Hi Nisreen

[NeeSoo]

Thank you for fast responding

The Open University "aspires" to reach the less fortunate people.
or
The Open University "clues" to reach the less fortunate people.

I meant that we should use "aspires" or "clues"????
..........................

Army has been "defeated" in Island in the last few days.
or
Army has been "handcuffed" in Island in the last few days.

I mean that we should use "defeated" or "handcuffed"????

Hi Nisreen

The word "aspires" can be used. The word "clues" doesn't make any sense to me:
- The Open University aspires to reach (the) less fortunate people.

I'm still not sure what you want to say in your second sentence. Does "Island" mean "Iceland"? I presume that "army" means a whole group of soldiers? The word "handcuffed" does not seem appropriate at all. I might suggest this:

- The army has suffered a number of defeats in Iceland in the last few days.

Your answer was what?

Neither of the Army ones makes any sense, I'm afraid, though Yankee has given it her best shot.
