Do and Make are two verbs which frequently confuse students. Here we will learn about the difference between Do and Make and when to use each one.
Do 和 Make 這兩個詞對許多學(xué)生造成了困擾。今天我們就來學(xué)習(xí)一下這兩個詞的區(qū)別，以及用法。
When do you use DO?
什么時候用DO?
- DO is used when talking about work, jobs or tasks. Note, they do not produce any physical object.
1. 談?wù)搘ork, jobs or tasks的時候用。注意：這幾個詞后面不接任何賓語。

我現(xiàn)在就開始做家務(wù)，今晚你要見客人。
• I wouldn't like to do that job.
我不喜歡做那項工作。
2. DO is used when we refer to activities in general without being specific. In these cases, we normally use words like thing, something, nothing, anything, everything etc.
2. 當我們籠統(tǒng)的提到一項活動時用DO。這種情況下，我們通常使用thing, something, nothing, anything, everything之類的詞。

3. We sometimes use DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious. This is more common in informal spoken English:
3. 當意思很清楚或是很模糊時，會用DO替換句中的動詞。這在非正式的口語中更常見：
• Do I need to do my hair? (do = brush or comb)
• 我需要梳一下頭發(fā)嗎?
• Have you done the dishes yet? (done = washed)
• 這些盤子刷好了嗎?
• I'll do the kitchen if you do the lawns (do = clean, do = mow)

Remember Do can also be as an auxiliary verb (for making questions in the present tense - Do you like chocolate?)
Do也可以做助動詞(以現(xiàn)在時提問：你喜歡巧克力嗎?)
