Note: There are many expressions that use "do". In many of these, the meaning of "doing" is not "fabricating" or "doing" and very often "doing" seems more appropriate, but they are the established expressions, so you have to memorize them.

"Make" is used in the sense of "manufacture", "elaborate" or "create". It is used for activities that create something that can be touched, a physical object.

"Do" is used when we talk about things in general, when we do not specify the activity. In this sense, it is used a lot with indefinite pronouns like "something", "anything", "nothing", etc.

"Do" is used for actions, activities and jobs. It is used in a broad sense, as "to perform". In general, these actions and activities do not produce a physical object.

EXAMPLE:

We do come to school by bus.
