Please can you explain why this is wrong in Chinese?
O.k! I am getting very confused. In english we would say "I will do lots of study!" I wrote as 我要做学习得很多！ But was told it should just be 我要学习很多！
I get completly now that I can leave out 做 thats not an issue I get it!
However I thought you had to link verbs to phrases like 很多 with 得? ie: 他烟抽得很多! (He smokes a lot) or 他书读得很多！(He reads alot.)
Why do I not need to use it here then?
Now to add to the confusion someone else said I should say 我有很多要学习 and that makes no sense to me and reads more like I have lots must study.
Please can anyone help end my confusion? whats going on with the grammer behind this sentance? Please if possible can you explain in English. Thank you!

This is in accordance with Chinese usage.Like we say"it is hard to study English well"is wrong in English.In Chinese it means" 把英语学习好很困难"

I think chinese is a difficult language.Every character has its different meaning in different sentences.Also there are lots of new words and grammer appearing on the internet.So if you don't understand it,don't worry,we can also get your idea more or less.Just prastice,speaking with your teacher and classmates.Practice makes the perfect!

他烟抽得很多 is pretty verbal , it equals to 他抽得很多烟, he smokes a lot

it is just a habit for people to say it just like we chinese study english ,the oral feeling to say chinese in chinese way ,we called it 语感

I will do lots of study, why don't you translate word by word as 我要做很多学习，it's ok, indeed you translation is ok ,we can understand you , but it'sounds weird not nature ，the more nature saying is 我要学习很多, cause in 我要做很多学习(I will do a lot practice),做is verb 学习is noun,but in我要学习很多(I will practise a lot )，学习is verb ,there is no noun ,do you think practise and practice is the same in two sentence , in the first ,do can be translated as 做。
他烟抽得很多 you can understand as "his smoking time is a frequent." or tobacco , he smokes a lot
