00:00:00a Dalek hands up the votes make and do
00:00:08these cause a lot of confusion with
00:00:11students because I think in the Latin
00:00:13languages they use them as the same word
00:00:15I might be wrong I don’t know but in
00:00:20English the easy way to remember is this
00:00:22the verb make implies you build or
00:00:26create something for example make a cake
00:00:29make a coffee
00:00:30make a plan make a table make a monkey
00:00:34cage whereas do just implies an action
00:00:38for example do a test I did well on my
00:00:43test I’m not doing anything he does
00:00:48everything for me some actions collocate
00:00:53with make just because they just do
00:00:55there’s no logical reason for it for
00:00:58example make a mistake make an excuse
00:01:03make money make a decision I make myself
00:01:07look pretty you make me feel happy and
00:01:10do collocates with work tasks for
00:01:13example do the housework do the homework
00:01:16do the laundry do some work and finally
00:01:21you can use both for the same sentence
00:01:24but the meaning will be different look
00:01:27at this example this shows the
00:01:29difference you can say I made something
00:01:32for your birthday which would mean you
00:01:33created or you built something for them
00:01:36to say I did something for your birthday
00:01:39would imply an action for example I
00:01:41bought you a car thanks for watching and
