Hello Ms. [이름]

Thanks for answering your homework.

And you almost got it perfectly!

Let me give you a brief review about the differences of the two words.


When do you use DO?

DO is used as follows:

1. DO is used when talking about work, jobs or tasks. Note, they do not produce any physical object.

Have you done your homework?
I have guests visiting tonight so I should start doing the housework now.
I wouldn\'t like to do that job.

2. DO is used when we refer to activities in general without being specific. In these cases, we normally use words like thing, something, nothing, anything, everything etc.

Hurry up! I\'ve got things to do!
Don\'t just stand there-do something!
Is there anything I can do to help you?

3. We sometimes use DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious. This is more common in informal spoken English:

Do I need to do my hair? (do = brush or comb)
Have you done the dishes yet? (done = washed)
I\'ll do the kitchen if you do the lawns (do = clean, do = mow)

Remember Do can also be as an auxiliary verb (for making questions in the present tense - Do you like chocolate?) For more about Do used in this case, see our page about Do vs Does. Here we will be talking about Do as a normal verb.


When do you use MAKE?


1. Make is for producing, constructing, creating or building something new.

2. It is also used to indicate the origin of a product or the materials that are used to make something.

His wedding ring is made of gold.
The house was made of adobe.
Wine is made from grapes.
The watches were made in Switzerland

3. We also use Make for producing an action or reaction:

Onions make your eyes water.
You make me happy.
It’s not my fault. My brother made me do it!

4. You make after certain nouns about plans and decisions:

make the arrangements,
make a choice

5. We use Make with nouns about speaking and certain sounds:

make a comment
make a noise
make a speech

6. We use Make with Food, Drink and Meals:

make a cake
make a cup of tea
make dinner


Hope this helps.

see you tomorrow!

Always,

Kathrine ^^
