what is the difference between do & make ?Who can i use them in sentences ?
Basic Difference between DO and MAKE. Use DO for actions, obligations, and repetitive tasks. Use MAKE for creating or producing something, and for actions you choose to do. DO generally refers to the action itself, and MAKE usually refers to the result.
Hope this is simpler to use.
