Today, we're going to talk about something that confuses many students: when to use "do" and when to use "make."

Let's start with "do." We use "do" when we talk about general tasks or activities that don't create something new. It's like saying you're doing something that's part of your routine. Let's hear some examples:

  • Do homework: "After school, I always do my homework."
  • Do the dishes: "In our house, we do the dishes right after dinner."
