Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

I had a conversation with my manager about my future at the company.

In my opinion, it’s important to have a conversation with your friends if there’s a misunderstanding, so you can solve the problem together.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: We made a conversation.

Say: We had a conversation.

You HAVE a conversation, not 'make' one. ('Make conversation' = chat to fill silence — a slightly different idea.)
