I have been wondering how to translate "to make money" in speaking and writing in Spanish
From what I know it would be translated like this:
"The man made 100 dollars last year"
El hombre hizo cien dólares el año pasado.
Is this correct? If not what is the correct way to state "to make money" and be sure to give some examples.
In general, in Spanish we say "ganar dinero" as to earn money. That is, in a context when you explain someone's profession or activity:
She earns a lot of money as a nurse
Ella gana mucho dinero como enfermera
If we want to express that someone made some money by doing something punctual, we use verbs like "sacar" in an informal context:
She made 100€ by selling ice creams in the beach
Ella se sacó 100€ vendiendo helados en la playa
