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. For example, if you “make breakfast,” the result is an omelet! If you “make a suggestion,” you have created a recommendation.
