Hi Sonnete
Did you read the make vs do links that you were given?
http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic25172.html#85943
The usual collocation is 'do homework'.
If you said 'make homework', that would suggest that you create or build homework somehow.

Hi, Amy
So, can a teacher say to his impetuous, incorrigible pupil who's just done something naughty: You've just made yourself homework, pal ?
Thanks ! |

Hi Alex
That's possible, I guess, but fairly unlikely.
To me, something such as "You've just earned yourself a pile of extra homework, young man!" would be more likely. :wink:
