He makes a cake. As a general rule, use "make" for creating things and use "do" for actions. Do usually refers to the action, while make usually focuses on the result (of an action). Hope that helps!

In my experience, you just have to remember when to say "make" and when to say "do". The native English speakers would say there's a rule ""make" means you end up creating something and "do" means it's just an action that may lead to some finished product or not", but the rule has many exceptions. (Like, why is it "to make love"? It's not like sexual intercourse is expected to result in the partners falling in love.) As a little consolation for you, I can tell you that we struggle just as hard with the distinction of "ser" and "estar".

Make+ something eg make a meal, dish etc Do+ an action eg do the dishes, laundry.

He makes or bakes a cake.

Hello! The correct verb to use in the sentence is "bake". That is the verb which describes cooking something inside an oven. So the sentence should be written like this: "He bakes a cake". The word "bake" has an -s at the end of it because it is in the present tense. To "make" something, generally, means to create something using different things. For example: "I will make some coffee at lunchtime". To "do" something means to complete an action or to achieve something. For example: "I will do the laundry". I hope that helps!
