I’ve just made myself a cup of tea
I have to do some housework soon
But this made me think of two words
Which make many students find it difficult to use them.
Today, I want to talk to you about ‘make’ and ‘do’.
So why is it difficult to distinguish between these two words using?
The answer is that both words have very similar meanings
And, in many languages
They use only one word
Such as ‘HACER’ in Spanish
So what is the main difference between them?
Well with ‘make’ you’re creating something
It did not exist before
While with ‘do’ you complete or complete a task
Already exist
Now please remember
As with all grammar in English
There are always exceptions
I will talk about them after explaining the most important part.
The things that we can invent or bring from scratch:
Coffee or Tea: Do you make one of them?
View: I would like to make you an offer.
Can I make you a suggestion?
Well, but only provided that you make (make) me a promise.
Also: I think I have made a mistake.
I would like to make a complaint!
Who makes (making) this noise?
I’ve made a really important discovery.
Most business-related verbs are used with ‘make’
For example: profit and loss
Last month, he made a loss
But this month I want to make a profit.
You can also make an investment in someone else’s business.
If you are sure that your football team will win the game
You can make a proof of them
In order to try and earn some extra money
Well, if things go well for you
And I earned a lot of money
You will have made a fortune.
Now let’s talk about ‘do’.
As I have already told you that ‘do’ is used when you perform a predefined task
For example: Every night, do my homework.
Next week I have to submit (do) for the exam.
In the share of science, we did experiments.
I hope I do not have to do any interviews sooner!
Next summer, I think I will give (do) a course in language.
Home businesses are tasks, which are important to remember
I hate doing (shopping).
I do not mind doing the dishes
But I hate
Do the clothes
You can do something good or bad
I did the exam badly in the summer and now I have to do it again.
You can do good or bad
Doing good is doing something useful
If you eat healthy, you do (do) yourself a good thing.
You can also do your best, or do your worst.
If you want to run in the race, you must do your best
To try and to achieve the best possible time.
I have taken out my red pen!
Time for exceptions and unfortunately
There are many exceptions with ‘do’ and ‘make’.
I’ve told you that most things are dealing with money and business
Used with it
However, you have already heard this phrase
‘Happy doing business with you’?
Business, this word itself, using ‘do’
Which we do with someone.
I also said that housework is used with ‘do’.
But when I wake up in the morning I have to make my bed.
I also said that ‘make’ is used with preparation and innovation
So we create an art, do not we?
Error! We do the drawing.
Finally, girls hair and makeup.
I do my hair and I also do makeup.
Oh! I’m just putting on lipstick.
Um, that’s all about ‘make’ or ‘do’.
I really hope you learned something
I would be very grateful if you would “subscribe” to my channel
And also if you analyze the test I will present to you later
You can leave your answers in the comments
I will try to correct them all
good bye!
