To create and configure a new account on an app, website or service.

phrasal verbB1core

Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

Before you can order, you'll need to set up an account with your email.

A: How do I start using the app?
B: First, set up an account — it only takes a minute.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: I want to make a new account on the app.

Say: I need to set up an account on the app.

Use 'set up an account', not 'make an account'; you 'set it up' (configure it), not just 'make' it.

  • Pattern
  • set up an account (with [service] / for [app])
