Vocabulary do and make

The words DO and MAKE are
very similar. It is often difficult to choose between them. However,
there are some differences.

1.
We use DO when we talk about an activity without saying exactly what
that activity is – for example, with something,
nothing, anything,
everything,
what,
e.g.:

Do something!

He likes doing nothing.

What shall we do?

I don’t know what to do.
Then he did a very strange thing.

What are you doing?

I’m doing a puzzle.

2.
So now you see that DO can mean to
perform an activity or action
in general, it can also mean to
solve or to put together.

3. We use DO when we talk
about work and in the structure DO-ing, e.g.:

I’m not doing any work
today.

I’m going to do some
reading.

I dislike doing housework.

I hate doing the cooking,
washing up, shopping – let’s get a maid to do these jobs.

Would you like to do my
job?

I’ve got to do my
homework.

4.
We often use MAKE when we talk about constructing,
building, creating, causing or forcing something to happen.

I enjoy making model
aircraft.

I’ve just made a cake.

Let’s make a plan.

My father and I once made
a boat.

That company makes
television sets.

Can you make bread?

The car journey made him
sick.

They made him work hard.

5.
In other cases, there are no clear rules. If you are not sure which
word is correct, look
it up in a dictionary.

1. Use either do or make to fill in the blanks.

In most countries, young men
have to _________ military service. Some do not enjoy it but they
know they must __________ their duty. These people usually try to
__________ the best of it. Others discover that they are cut out for
the military life: they __________ the most of it.

Everyone learns that it
____________ no good to ___________ a fuss or to ___________ a
nuisance of oneself.

If you are late, it _________
no good to __________ excuses.

If you don’t like running,
walking or climbing or getting up at 6 A.M., you must learn to like
it: the army ___________ no exceptions. Do not try to ___________
sense of military regulations: their purpose is to confuse you. And
every time you __________ a mistake, the sergeant-major will say you
are trying to __________ a fool of him.
