Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 367. The title of today's lesson is commit a
crime not do or make a crime. Okay. So a lot of students of ESL will sometimes
make mistakes by saying that somebody does a crime or somebody makes a crime
where they should always be saying somebody commits a crime. Okay. Let's look
at some examples. Of course here with the X. This is wrong.
So here's the example number 1. What makes people do crimes ? No. That would be
incorrect. You should say what makes people commit crimes ? That's what we
should say. All right. The second one here with the X , again this is wrong.
He went to prison for doing a number of crimes. No. You should say he went to
prison for committing a number of crimes. That's correct. Okay. And the third one
here. Again with the X, this is wrong. Society should do something to prevent
people from making crimes. All right. Again you know with the check, this would
be correct. Society should do something to prevent people from committing crimes.
Okay. So again remember that we commit a crime.
We don't do a crime or make a crime. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it is clear.
Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
