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.
