The difference between "Do" and "Make"

[Lilia_Cedillo]

Hi

Its quite difficult for me to remember the differences between do and make?

Can u help me an easy way to know when should I use one or the other...

Thx a lot

.
When 'do' is a main verb, I know of no rules for its use vis-a-vis 'make'. You will have to learn the idiomatic collocations individually-- make one's bed, do one's dishes, etc.

Well, "do" and "make" have a variety of usages. You should study some idioms. I give you some examples here:

[I] Do = to take an action

Can you do it for me?

Note: We use do" in order to avoid repeating a verb already used in our sentence.

E.g.: -> You can fall in love with any woman but I can't do that.

Hi Lilia,

Have you read this story with make and do expressions?

By the way, are you aware of the difference between "it's" and "its"? Also, it's probably better to use "you" instead of "u".
