Hi, I’m Phil from BBC Learning English. Today I’m going to tell you how to use ‘make’ and ‘do’. Now, they can be tricky and there are some exceptions. But here are four things to remember. We use ‘make’ when we create something… like this cake! We use ‘do’ to talk about an activity.
Dan
What are you doing?
Phil
I‘m doing some work.
We can use ‘make’ to talk about something that causes a reaction. This music really makes me want to sing!
We can also use ‘do’ with general activities.
Dan
What are you doing tomorrow?
Phil
I‘m not doing anything. Have you got any plans?
So we’ve seen four ways to use ‘make’ and ‘do’.
