Do vs. Make English Vocabulary

Do  and  Make  are two verbs which frequently confuse students. Here we will learn about the difference between  Do  and  Make  and when to use each one. 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
