En el idioma ingles existen dos verbos que significan hacer y

que son Do y Make, solo que el primero se usa para realizar
actividades mentales o fsicas. Y Make para actividades que
puedes tocar, es decir manufacturar o fabricar. No existe una
regla exacta para estos dos verbos, por lo que debemos
aprenderlos de memoria y razonarlos.

An explanation
The two verbs 'do' and 'make' are often confused. The meanings are similar, but there are differences.

Do
"do (du) (hacer)" = It refers to a physical or mental activity . (Se refiere a una
actividad fsica o mental.)
'Do' for Activities
Use the verb 'do' to express daily activities or jobs. Notice that these are usually
activities that produce no physical object.
Example:
Do me a favor (du mi a feivor).
Do a job(du a yob)

Hacerme un favor
(hacer un trabajo)

Do time (du taim)

(hacer tiempo).
Do a service (du a servis)
(hacer un servicio).
Do the homework (du de jomwork)
(hacer la tarea).
Do housework(du jauswork)
(hacer el quehacer)
Do the dishes (du de dishes)
(limpiar los platos).
Do the ironing(du de aironing)
(planchar)
Do exercise (du exersais)
(hacer ejercicio).
Do body activities (do bodi activitis)
(hacer actividades corporales).
Do the shopping (du de shoping)
(hacer las compras).
Do the best (du de best)
(hacer lo mejor).
Do ones best. "ones" representa cualquier "possessive adjectives".
Do the cleaning (du de clining)
(hacer la limpieza).
Do wonders (du wonders)
(hacer maravillas).
It is hard to do (it is jard tu du)
(es difcil de hacer).
Do ones hair / teeth / nails (du wuans je..r / ti..d / neils. (peinarse el cabello
/ lavarse los dientes / cortarse las uas).
Do for a living (du for a living)
(hacer para ganarse la vida).
Do well at (du wel at)
(hacer bien en).
Do badly at (du badli at)
(hacer mal en).
A veces se usa "do" para hacer nfasis o recalcar mucho una accin:
Ex:
People do make mistakes sometimes. (pi..pl du meik misteiks somtaims)
(la gente de hecho hace o comete errores algunas veces)
It does seem rather late. (it dos si..m rader leit) (en efecto parece muy
tarde)
They do work very hard. (Dei du work vewri jard) (Ellos si trabajan muy duro)
'Do' for General Ideas
Use the verb 'do' when speaking about things in general. In other words, when
we do not exactly name an activity. This form is often used with the words
'something, nothing, anything, everything, etc.'
I'm not doing anything today.
He does everything for his mother.
She's doing nothing at the moment.
Important Expressions with 'Do'
There are a number of standard expressions that take the verb 'do'. These are
standard collocations (verb + noun combinations) that are used in English.
do one's best
do good
do harm
do a favour
do business

Make Explained
"make (meik) (hacer, fabricar)" = se refiere a hacer, crear o fabricar algo con las
manos.
'Make' for Constructing, Building, Creating
Use 'make' to express an activity that creates something that you can touch.

Ex:
Make ones living (meik wuans living) (hacer la vida de uno).
Make good / bad (meik gud / bad) (hacer bien / mal).
Make a cake / lemonade / poem / song / speech / report / letter / article /
appointment / deal / plan / schedule / effort / suggestion / decision/ food/
a cup of tea / coffee / a mess.
(meik a keik / lemoneid / poem / song / spich / wriport / leder / articl / apointment
/ di..l / plan / skeyul / efort / sudyesshion / desishion)
(hacer un pastel / limonada / poema / cancin / discurso / reporte / carta /

(meik a fon col / awreinchment / misteik / pictur / trip)

Make a good / bad use of (hacer un buen / mal uso de).

(hacer algo mejor / peor)
Make someone happy / sad / angry / etc...

Nota: "someone" se puede sustituir por cualquier "object pronoun (me, you,
