hello, bulent. You made me feel sad. This sentence's structure is S (subject) + V(verb)+O(object)+ to.v to.v here is 'to feel sad', In this sentence, you can abridge 'to'. The same goes for 'let'. For example, The teacher let the pupils go home. But 'get' and 'help' can't be used in this way. I got him to repair the radio. Can you help me to put up the tent? About 'You made me sad.' This sentence is definitely right. But I can't explain it clearly.

Hello Bulent, Neither, I didn't make you sad , nor did I make you feel sad ;) You can use both. "sadness" is a feeling. Attaching the verb"feel" to it , is an emphasize on the emotional process and just "being sad" concentrates on the emotional state itself.

Both are correct. we can either say 'You made me sad' or 'You made me feel sad'. 'Driving makes her tired.' 'Driving makes her feel tired.'
