Episode 20 - Make vs Do

No Mistake

Dearest English Enjoyer,

The difference between Make and Do is one of the most common stumbling blocks for learners of English, as many languages use a single verb for both.

If English is one of our mother tongues, we learn this distinction through collocation—which is the habitual juxtaposition of a particular word with another word or words with a frequency greater than chance—or more simply expressed: through exposure and repetition.

I hope you do your homework, and make a note of any mistakes.

Yours faithfully,
Thomas
