hello everyone welcome back to let's
talk i'm michelle and we are here with a
new lesson this time
do onions make you cry
yes they make me cry
it's time you make a decision about your
career does your dad tell you that he
tells me also
have you ever heard such statements and
do verbs like this and this confuse you
yes they are a bit confusing
but they are very easy to understand if
you know the difference between these
two so in this lesson we are going to
discuss the difference between
do and make
we are going to learn different places
where we can use these verbs
just to let you know we cannot use these
verbs interchangeably
starting with do
do can be used when we are talking about
work
jobs or tasks what's common between
these three
take a moment guess
you must have guessed it by now
they are all actions so we use do in
actions we also use make in actions but
different kind of actions
let's start with this
have you done your homework what is this
talk about this talks about
work have you done your work and done is
the
past form
for the verb
do
the second one
i should start doing the housework now
ladies there maybe you're thinking that
yes you might want to
doing
this is talking about a particular job
that has been assigned to you or that
you think that you should do
there also you can use do
and doing is the
continuous form of the verb do
what do we mean by continuous
continuous means an action that is going
on so if you're doing something you're
doing it over a period of time
the third one here i wouldn't like to do
that job
do here talks about a task job here
refers to a task
so for example you've been assigned the
task
of
recording a video and you don't want to
do that so how would you say it you'd
say i wouldn't like to do that job
moving on we talk about activities in
general this is also another area where
you can use do you can use it with words
like
something
nothing
anything
what do these words tell you they're not
really telling you anything they're
talking about something in general
so the way here we we see it in this
sentence hurry up i've got things to do
what things i don't know maybe you want
to clean the house maybe you want to go
shopping we don't know so it's something
in general it could be anything
the same way
don't just sit there do something
that's not for you don't worry you can
watch there you can sit there and watch
the video it's perfectly fine but you
can say that to somebody else right you
cannot say don't just sit there and make
something
because that entirely changes the
meaning then you're asking them to
produce something
we'll come to that later in the video
the third one here is there anything i
can do to help you what can you do to
help me
maybe you know you can come along with
me we can go somewhere
we could you it could be anything it
does not talk about anything particular
but something general
the last area where we can use do is it
does a really good task in english do
does a very good task in english that it
replaces a verb now how does it do that
it's so confusing
have you done the dishes yet what do we
mean by done here what will you do with
the dishes
you will of course
wash the dishes right or if somebody
says i'll do the kitchen what does it
mean i'll clean the kitchen so here the
word
wash
is being replaced by
the very nice verb do
because it does such a kind
work of helping other worms and reducing
their work
have you done the dishes means have you
washed the dishes yet
or have you done the kitchen means have
you cleaned the kitchen yet
right i hope that really helped you to
understand the uses of do now we'll move
on to where we can use make
we can use make to when we are talking
about producing a physical object like
the example says here my dad likes to
make paintings what do we mean by make
painting here it means that my dad likes
to paint he likes to draw painting so he
likes to paint
the second one
origin of a product so this watch of
mine is made in switzerland
and
your phone maybe is made in china or
maybe it's made in u.s so what are we
talking about
the country where this object was
prepared or made
made why do we say made and not make
because it's not
made in the present it was made in the
past so it's talking about an incident
that happened in the past
so like
done here
is the past form for do
made here is also the past form for make
the fourth one here
producing a reaction what is that
i have a friend john who's like really
funny and he cracks awesome jokes all
the time he really makes me happy why
because he makes me laugh
so the action is that
he cracks jokes and the reaction is that
i become happy so when we talk about a
reaction
we use
make again
we can also say do onions
do onions make you cry so if you cut an
onion that's your action when you cry
after cutting them that's the reaction
right the next one we have here is
plants and arrangements
who likes plants i love to make plans
but they know they don't always are
successful
so here you need to make a
career decision
making a decision about your career
means making arrangements about your
career to become successful you know you
might want to study you might might want
to go abroad and study different courses
and become successful or undergo some
training so there you are making certain
arrangements to become successful
like this here
the last one
my utter most favorite
food
have you ever heard anybody saying make
dinner for me tonight what are they
really saying dinner how can you make
dinner what they really mean is
cook dinner tonight
so here
make is actually replacing another verb
like cook and it's saying
make dinner tonight just like do here
have you done the dishes yet it's
replacing wash and here it's make is
replacing
cook
right with this i hope you really
understood the difference between
uh do and make and what are the areas
where we can use both of them
i have something interesting for you and
those are idioms that you can use with
the word do and with the word make the
first one is
to make
ends
meat
this idiom
means
that you're trying to pay your utility
bills and your other expenses with the
very little money that you have i'll
write it for you here
this second idiom that we have is
two do away
with something
this idiom means to get rid of something
so where can we really use this idiom
the chemical will do away with the stain
on your clothes so the st the chemical
will be used to get rid of the stain
that you have on your clothes while
eating that pizza
the last idiom that we have is
to do uh is to make do
this idiom
is a combination of both the verbs that
we have learned today that is make and
do to make do means to struggle it has a
similar meaning to make ends meet and it
means that you struggle to uh you know
you struggle for your living and for
your daily expenses
yay we finally learned the difference
and the usage of the two very
interesting verbs do and make which were
initially very confusing but now
very simple
and also we've learned
three new idioms to make ends meet to do
away with something and to make to
i hope you use them
and
that this lesson was very productive for
you and that now you will not be too
confused between the use of these two
verbs
i'll come back again with a very
interesting video and a more interesting
topic probably see you till then you
take care and miss me bye
