English Tips

Certain things in the English language have no explanation or general rule. And so do the DO and MAKE verbs. Check for more below!

For those who always get confused with the use of verbs try to remember:

  • TO DO: Used to describe actions, activities, tasks, or duties. Ex: exercises, research, shopping.
  • TO MAKE: Use to talk about producing, creating, or building something. Ex: make a decision, make a cake, make coffee.
