00:00 Intro: The Rule for MAKE and DO
Hey, could you do me a favour? Make me a favour? Man, isn't there a rule so we know when to use do and when to use make in English? Yes, there is. Let's have a look.
Now I've got lots of videos on commonly confused words and I've made a playlist for you which you can watch up there after this video. But today let's look at the rule for make and do in English.
00:33 When to use MAKE in English grammar
We have lots to learn today. So let's start right now.
I want you to look at these examples and tell me what they all have in common. A list, a mess, a sandwich, a paper, aeroplane. So what do all these have in common? Well, they're all things that we can create or produce or build or construct. And when we're talking about things like that, we use make. So let's have a look at some other examples of things we can create or produce or build and they don't have to be physical things, as we will see here. You can make a profit, make a loss, make money, or make a sale, make a sweater, make a scarf, or make a cup of tea. They're all things we can produce. So we use make.
OK, look at these expressions here. Bread is made from flour. This toy was made in China. Well, we use make when we're talking about the origin of something like, where does it come from? It's from China. How is it made? It's made from flour. So when we're talking about the origin, we use make.
OK, look at these expressions. Pollen makes me sneeze. Driving makes her tired. I told her a joke and it made her laugh. Can you see what these expressions have in common? We're talking about a reaction, causing a reaction. OK, my reaction to pollen is that it makes me sneeze. So this grammatical construction is really useful when we're talking about the reaction that something causes. Some other examples are this television programme makes me laugh. Sometimes I watch the news and it makes me sad. Don't say that to him. You will make him angry.
Okay, here's an easy one for you. Can you tell me what all of these things have in common? A plan, a reservation, an appointment, an arrangement. Well, yes, these are all talking about plans, making plans. And for all these, we use make. Make a plan, make a reservation, make an appointment. And here are some other examples. You can make a booking or make a commitment and make an agreement. OK, a commitment or agreement in some way, you are talking about a plan for the future. So we use make.
OK, this next category is a little bit more difficult, but let's see if you can see what these things have in common. Effort, decisions, choice, mistakes. Well, these are all words that we can use to talk about progress. Imagine you are doing some project or some job at work. To talk about the progress, these are some common words that you will use, and we use make for these. Some other examples of this are the word progress, make progress, make changes, make mistakes, make improvements and make a difference.
OK, this next category is easy. I'm sure you can tell me what these things have in common. Let's have a look: a promise, a comment, a noise, an excuse, a suggestion, a joke. Yes, these are all things that we say. They're all sounds that we speak or noises in general. And when we're talking about sounds or speaking, we use make, make a promise, make an excuse, make noise, make a joke, etc. There are many other examples of this, but here are a few for you. Make a complaint, make a confession, make a phone call, make an apology, make a prediction.

Yes, bread is made from FLOUR, not FLOWER (which, by the way, are pronounced exactly the same!) 😂 Anyway, this isn't a cooking class...

[@sawomirkrol9282]

When you understand the word "make" as "create", everything becomes much clearer. What are you doing? = What action are you performing? What are you making? = What are you creating?

[@diegodiniz3628]

That's right!Thank you for have did make this available comment. How it does its job in the sentence,it's simple beautiful grammar construction!

Good day, Greg. Thanks a lot for this lesson. It's helpful as always 🙂. Could you explain the difference between "make from" and "make of"? Thank you in advance 💓

[@ClicioBarrosoFilho]

Hello Greg, cheers from sunny Brazil. Congrats for the videos, excellent learning features, specially in pronunciation, very helpful indeed. Could I suggest a theme for a short video? What are the differences in meaning among the words: between, among, amongst, amid and amidst? I hear people using between all the time even for more than two objects. Thanks in advance!

[@fabianabevis9890]

Thank you... very useful. Interestingly, make is used for food and drinks but we can't say "I make the cooking" we have to use - do in this context "I do the cooking".

[@tahirayasmeen2193]

[@brsbulbthehoseone9726]

Awesome performance learning. Love those videos.I tried it out and I have succeeded. I am able to read a lot better and sound my words out.

[@paulbeausejour2235]

Thanks for teaching me how to use make and do.

[@manabendrabhattacharya2983]

Well explained.

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Some Americans do say "make a photo" or "made a photo," particularly if they are photographers. (I've heard Ansel Adams may have been the originator of this usage.) Do/make in conjunction with the word "project" is an interesting one. "Are you making progress on your project?" vs "How are you doing on your project?" "What are you going to do for your final project?" and "What are you going to make for your final project?" could both be acceptable, depending on what the context is for that final project. If you're writing a paper, then "do" refers to the subject of the paper, but if you're in a class where projects are physical items, like food or clothing, or sculptures, etc., then "make" would be correct.

Thank you so much.I mostly use do and make correctly ,but it's quite difficult to explain the differences.Maybe just because we used to learn the expressions by heart in school .

Great job, Greg! Can you tell me if the following sentences are all right: You made a good video about do and make. I did English at school ( replacing the verb to study) Have a good one!

In English, we "have" or "take" a school subject rather than "do" it. "I HAD Engish at school" or "I TOOK English at school."

Hi, Greg. Thank you for the video, it`s really helpful. I would like to ask you if I could use some of your tips and examples in my videos. I am an English teacher in Brazil and I always recommend my students to watch your channel. But most of them can`t understand everything in English, yet. So, I would like to use your tips but in Portuguese, if you allow me, of course. I would mention where I got the content and I would leave the link to your video, too. Thank you.

Not easy to remember all that. I think the best thing is to learn all these expressions by heart as many times as necessary so that they impose themselves in your head the day you need them.

Tr.I want to know can I prepare for IELTS not step by step?

[@unclegrandfather1]

My (French) wife still says “make a tour” to say something like “circle around the parking lot,” even though her English is impeccable. As an American, I might say something more like “make a loop.” For me, the word “tour“ always means a guided visit. When she says “let’s make a tour around the supermarket,” I always joke that I’m not really interested in touring the place where I get my groceries. Does anyone know of an English dialect where “tour“ means just to walk around in a circle?

Please help is this sentence grammatically and semantically correct I sometimes visit my aunt once a week

[@Turbo_TechnoLogic]

Very useful thank, BUT there's one thing I don't get 10:43 here you say do substitutes the obvious verbs in the context. But based on this, practically like 80% of the sentences could use do. Who says what's obvious? :) and for who is obvious in the first place? Also just as a side note and philosophy, isn't this a kind of phasing out of these expressions from the language? Cos if you only say do, and not paint, after a while it will be forgotten, that you 'paint' your nails. You just do it. Just a thought experiment, I'm not a linguistics expert or anything.
