Exercise 2.
a) Study using "make" or "do".
“Make” or “do”? In some contexts these two words have a similar meaning.
However, there is a rule which says that “make” usually carries the idea of creation,
construction.
Example: - Marry made this dress herself.
- This device was made by two students in one of the laboratories of the
University.
- Second-year students will make experiments next year.
As for “do”, it is usually associated with work, particular activity.
Example: - Second-year students will do laboratory work.
- Have you done your homework?
- We don’t do aerobics this year.
- He plans to do business.
However, there are many exceptions to these rules and specific uses of these verbs:
- to make a decision
- to make a mistake
- to make investments
- to make entry
- to make money
but:
- to do shopping
- to do subjects
- to do a favour
- to do without
b) Now cross out incorrect verbs:
1. My mother doesn’t do/make housework.
2. Did he do/make many mistakes?
3. Every child must do/make his room.
4. Will you do/make a cup of coffee?
5. I will do/make all my best to help you.
6. I’d like to do/make you an offer.
7. Will you do/make me a favour and pass the bread.
8. My mother is going to do/make a cake for your birthday.
