Quick Grammar Aid - Do and Make

What is the difference between ’doing things’ and ’making things’?

It can be hard to decide when to use 'make' or 'do' in English.

DO: We use the verb 'do' when someone performs an action, activity or task:

- do a crossword

- do the dancing

- do the washing up

Note! - these activities do not usually produce a physical object.

'Do' for General Ideas

Use the verb 'do' when speaking about things in general. In other words, to describe an action without saying exactly what the action is. This form is often used with the words ’something, nothing, anything, everything’, etc.

- I'm not doing anything today.

- He does everything for his mother.

- She's doing nothing.

IMPORTANT: «Do» may be often followed by a gerund.

- We always do shopping on weekends.

MAKE: We use the verb 'make' for constructing, building or creating:

- make a dress

- make a cup of tea / coffee

'Make' is often used when referring to preparing food of any kind.

- make a meal - breakfast / lunch / dinner

Note! - these activities usually create something that you can touch. IMPORTANT: «Make» is never followed by a gerund - only by a noun.

- We always make cakes on weekends.

2. Match ’do’ and ’make’ with the words below:

a chair, the dancing, coffee, gardening, soup, photography, model building, cookies, cooking, model ships.

3. Choose ’do’ or ’make’ to complete the sentences.

1) My sister’s hobby is to … shopping at weekends.

2) Mike is crazy about … pottery. He … very beautiful vases.

6) Have you ever … Yorkshire pudding?

7) How often does she … painting in the open air?

8) You look so fit! Do you … jogging?

9) He has learnt to … wonderful furniture while … his woodwork hobby.

4. Use the activities from ex. 1 (Lesson 1) to say what people can make while doing the hobbies. Note the difference:

1. They are doing pottery (= they are working with clay to produce something).

Pottery is an art or a process.

2. They are making pottery (= they are creating things from clay).

Pottery is ceramics, objects.

There are a number of standard expressions that take the verbs do' and make'. Unfortunately, they don't really follow any useful rules, so the best solution is to learn them.
