Hi. I'm James from engVid, and today's lesson is going to be on "do" or "make".

Many students make a mistake with these two verbs.

And the problem is native speakers almost never make this mistake, and as soon as you

make this mistake we will know that you are just learning English or low-level English.

So this lesson will help you fully understand how to use it so that you can start speaking

Now, in order to do that we have to clearly know what the difference is between "do" and "make",

and then give examples of how we use them.

Collocations are words that go with "do" and "make" regularly so you know even if you're

having a difficult time, when you say something like: "cake", you're going to say "do" or "make".

Let's find out in five seconds, shall we?

Let's go to the board where I'll break down what "do" is and give you examples; what "make"

is, give you examples; then I'll give you those collocations and a short quiz.

When I makes me a cake, do I do me a cake or make me a cake?

If an action is repetitive, something you do on a regular basis, we're going to use

Now, I should note very quickly here I am not going to talk on the auxiliary, like:

We have other videos, so please go to engVid, go check them out, and they'll clearly do...

Show you the uses of "do" as the auxiliary. Okay?

This is specifically how you understand it.

If something is done repetitively, we use "do", which is true for most simple present verbs.

When we talk in the simple present it's about repeated actions.

An obligation might be something like I do homework every night.

I'll give you a visual representation or a visual picture of it in a second, but I want

A lot of times in English we use what's called "shorthand".

Instead of saying every verb that I'm going to do, what I do is I use...

We put the verb "do" in and it talks about several actions in one go.

Here's an example for you: When I do the dishes, I wash them, I dry them, I put them away.

I don't want to say when someone says, like E goes: "Did you do the dishes?"

Go: "Yes, I wash the dishes, I dry the dishes, I put the dishes away."

They'll go: -"You new to Canada, correct?"

Okay, so I said: "I'll do the dishes" or "I do the dishes".

So, even under obligation I said: "I do the dishes every night", that's my obligation.

And it's these actions I'm talking about.

Repetitive because I do it every night, I repeat it.

Multiple actions, so I've just went through, and replacement of verbs.

This is similar to multiple actions, but you can use the verb "to do" to replace one verb,

like: "Hey, man. I got to do my hair tonight."

That means "fix", that might be cut my hair, it might be wash my hair, but when I got to

do my hair, I got to do my hair, and do my nails.

It's just replacing one verb, but we can put "do" in there and it replaces that verb, and

"Make" is create, when you create something.

Creation comes from it didn't exist and now it does.

And when I say "create", there's a big difference between the two.

Notice when we talked about "do" we talked about repetitive, obligation, multiple actions,

It's a verb of action and so is "make", but the difference is this: When I talk about

Sorry, you can see it, but you can't touch it.

You can see me washing, but you can't touch me washing the dishes.

You can see me washing the dishes, but you can't touch and go: "Now I have dry."

It's the action that I'm actually doing. Okay?

This in mind, yes, they're verbs of action and that's why you get confused, I understand,

but just keep in mind generally speaking with "do" you can see it, but you can't touch it.

Because with "make" it's almost the opposite.

When you create something it's in your hand, I can touch it, like this pen.
