Best Answer
to make a purchase
is abstract "why are you going to frank's shop" "oh to make a purchase" but honestly I would say "to buy something". It leaves out what you are purchasing, there is no easy way to include the purchased item in the sentence.
This is just guessing but in this sentence purchase is a noun and make is the verb?
to purchase
requires a thing "why are you going to frank's shop" "oh to purchase more apples"
in this sentence purchase is the verb
