DO VS MAKE

от Jessica Puentes

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

make an offer

make money

make an effort

make a choice

make a decision

Do vs. Make

Do is used for actions, activities and jobs. It is used in a broad sense, as "performing".

We use "do" when we talk about things in general, when we do not say exactly what activity. In this sense, it is used a lot with indefinite pronouns like "something", "anything", "nothing", etc.

do justice

do damage

do business

do a favor

do good

These actions and activities do not produce a physical object.

Examples

do exercise

do housework

do the dishes

do a job

do homework

"Make" is used in the sense of "make", "elaborate" or "create".

It is used for activities that create something that can be touched, a physical object.

examples

make furniture

make a dress

make breakfast/lunch/dinner
