Sixty seconds make a minute.

这个属于主谓一致的问题.尽管大多数情况下,单数的主语用单数的谓语,复数的主语用复数的谓语,但也有一些例外,这就是一个：
当名词词组为：量度、距离、金额、时间,书名等复数名词时,往往采取“意义一致”原则,把他们看作整体,用单数谓语动词.
如：
Three years has passed.
The selected Poems of Li Bai was published long ago.
Five miles is not a long distance.
Ten thousand dollars is more than I can afford.
所以Sixty seconds make a minute是不对的,应该把make 改为makes.
