When we use do and make with noun phrases, do focuses on the process of acting or performing something, make emphasises more the product or outcome of an action: When I was [action] doing the calculations, I [outcome] made two mistakes.
However, do generally refers to actions, tasks, and duties, and is often used when referring to work or general activities. On the other hand, make typically involves the creation of something new, and is used when referring to constructing, crafting, or producing something tangible or intangible.
Use MAKE for creating or producing something, and for actions you choose to do. DO generally refers to the action itself, and MAKE usually refers to the result. For example, if you “make breakfast,” the result is an omelet! If you “make a suggestion,” you have created a recommendation.
Exercise 1. Choose ‘do’ or ‘make’ to complete these sentences. 1 He has a good job and a lot of money. 2 Alice very well in her maths test. 3 Do you want me to you a coffee? 4 Joe his homework yet. 5 The children are a lot of noise right now. 6 Have you any plans for the weekend yet? 7 Cara the dishes every evening.
Remember that make means create or produce, while do means perform or accomplish. You’ll usually find make in sentences that include food, communications, money, products, and plans. Some examples include make baked chicken and make a fortune.
