Hi,
If it's 'do' you're interested in, you could read this where 'do' as a phrasal verb is used in a context rather than a list.
Or this.

You could also say that something 'does your head in' if you feel that something is getting on top you.
Listening to German radio stations for more than half an hour does my head in.
Reading Shakespeare does my head in.
Last night my neighbour's dog really did my head in when he just wouldn't stop barking. _________________ Test of English as a Foreign Language TOEFL Preparation & TOEFL Vocabulary Learn more: How to Become an English Teacher |

Hi Yankee, I found the idiom "do a deal" in your post? Could I use "make a deal" instead? |

sorry i can't understand
I only ......... one mistake in last night's test.
(a) made (b) done (c) did (d) make
Test No. incompl/elem-1 "Speaking already", answer 7
I only made one mistake in last night's test.
Correct answer: (a) made
Your answer was: incorrect I only did one mistake in last night's test. ____________________
this sentence in simple past and idiom is make a mistake so, in past simple it must be made a mistake right?

Right. But your spelling and punctuation are incorrect. You need to stick to basic rules. _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |
