MAKE is associated
with creation (producing, constructing, creating or building something
new, plans and decisions). We use Make
with food, drink, meals.
Examples:
- I've just made a
cake.
- Can you tell me how much
ten and ten make?
- The dress you are wearing
seems to be made for you.
DO is associated
with completion (about work, jobs, tasks, activities in general
without being specific). They do not produce any physical object. We
sometimes use DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or
obvious. This is more common in informal spoken
English.
Examples:
- I must do the
shopping.
- You must do your
exercise again.
- My boss is fond of doing business.
