Do or Make? Learn the rules we follow

Make or do? Do you ever wonder which verb to use? We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is there are some rules we follow and you can learn them in this video.

You'll see how we use 'do' for non-specific activities and work, and how we use 'make' with creative tasks.

The bad news is there's still more work to do because we use these verbs in lots of common expressions that you'll need to learn one by one. But not to worry because we have another video with some of the common ones here:

This is a new version of a video we made in the past. We thought we could do better and provide fuller explanations so we recorded some new matierial. Hope you like it!
