Hello everyone, this doubt in Portuguese first language speaking is terrble...it is so difficult to understand the difference between them...
I usually think as do is for routine and make when you create something new as do homework and make coffee...but sometimes this rule doesn't help..and just drives me crazy for example a surgery....Last week I did a surgery or made a surgery...I know that I can use had in this case but isn't one of them ok too ..I mean did or made...a surgery...
I am sure that someone will help me understanding this better and I just can say thank you a lot...
Best wishes to everyone
