He began to make personal remarks about the woman with the other man.

I am sure you will be kind enough to let me make a remark.

And then they may come around to making a remark about what's going on in Washington.

The rest of the company had taken leave, and were already at the door, when he made the last remark.

He seemed on the point of making some further remark.

Could you answer that before I make my other remarks?

And for the life of him he couldn't make the required remark.

He had taken to making the remark almost every evening.
