1
I've just made myself a cup of tea
2
and I should do some housework soon
3
but it got me thinking about two words that many students find very difficult to use.
4
Today I want to talk to you about make and do.
5
So why are these words so difficult to use the answer is
6
that both words have very similar meanings
7
and in many languages they use just one word like acid in Spanish
8
so what is the main difference well with make you are creating something
9
that didn't exist before whilst with do you're completing a task
10
that already exists now please remember as with all English concepts there are always exceptions
11
and I will talk about those after I've explained in most important parts
12
so things that we can create from scratch a coffee
13
or tea shall I make you one an offer I'd like
14
to make you an offer can I make a suggestion all right
15
but only if you make me a promise also I think I've made a mistake I'd like to make a complaint
16
who's making
17
that noise I've made a really important discovery most things to do with business go with make for example profit
18
and loss last month I made a loss
19
but this month I want to make a profit you can also make an investment into somebody else's business. If you're sure
20
that your football team is going to win it could be
21
an idea to make a bet on them to try
22
and earn some extra cash and also if things go really well for you
23
and you earn a lot of money you will have made a fortune.
24
Now let's talk about do.
25
I've already told you that do is when you complete a task that already exists for example
26
every night I do my homework next week I have to
27
do a test in science we did experiments I hope I
28
don't have to do any interviews soon next summer I think
29
I will do a language course housework chores the tasks
30
and that's an important one to remember i hate doing the shopping i don't mind doing the dishes
31
but i loathe and that means really hate doing the ironing you can also do well or badly in something
32
i did badly in an exam last summer
33
so now i have to do it again you can do bad
34
or good doing good is doing something positive
35
if you eat healthily you do yourself good you also do your best
36
or do your worst if you run a race you should do your best to try
37
and achieve the best possible time I've got my red pen out it's exception time
38
and unfortunately there are many exceptions to do with do
39
and make I told you that most things to do with money
40
and business go with make however have you ever heard the
41
phrase pleasure doing business with you business just the word goes
42
with do we do business with someone I also said
43
that housework chores go would do but
44
when I get up in the morning I should make my bed I also said
45
that make was to do with creation
46
so we create art right wrong we do a drawing
47
and finally girls hair and makeup I do my hair
48
and I also do my makeup oh sorry just doing my lipstick um that's it for make
49
or do I really hope you learned something
50
and I would really appreciate it if you subscribe and also
51
if you attempt the quiz
52
that I'm showing next you can leave your answers in the comments and I will try and correct them all.
53
Bye -bye!

When to use 'do' and 'make' | The Coffee Break English Show 1.01
Daily ConversationHigh School StudentsUniversity Students
Perché esercitarti a parlare con questo video?
Questo video è una vera gemma per chi vuole migliorare l'uso di "make" e "do" nel contesto quotidiano! Le frasi semplici e connesse alla vita reale (come fare un caffè o fare i compiti) ti aiutano a capire le differenze in modo naturale, perfetto per lo shadowing (ripetere a voce alta dopo il parlante). Con esercizi del genere, impari non solo la grammatica ma anche a usare le parole nel contesto giusto, un passo fondamentale per parlare inglese fluentemente. E se usi un shadowing site, puoi ripetere le frasi tante volte finché non le senti tue!
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Analizziamo i punti chiave del video:
- "Make" per creare qualcosa di nuovo: "I made a cup of tea" (ho fatto una tazza di tè) o "make a mistake" (fare un errore) mostrano che "make" si usa quando crei qualcosa che non esisteva prima.
- "Do" per compiti esistenti: "Do housework" (fare i compiti domestici) o "do a test" (fare un esame) indicano azioni che sono già stabilite.
- Eccezioni da ricordare: "Do business" (fare affari) o "make my bed" (fare il letto) dimostrano che anche se le regole sono chiare, ci sono casi eccezionali da memorizzare.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Attenzione a queste parole! "Loss" (perdita) e "profit" (profitto) hanno una pronuncia veloce: la "o" in "loss" è corta, mentre in "profit" la "o" è più aperta. Inoltre, "loathe" (odiare) si pronuncia /ləʊð/, con una "th" molle che many studenti trovano difficile. Usare un shadow speak ti aiuta a imitare l'intonazione e la velocità del parlante, evitando questi errori.
Non dimenticare di fare il quiz del video e lasciare le risposte nei commenti: è il modo migliore per verificare cosa hai imparato! Con l'impegno e lo shadowing, mastererai "make" e "do" in pochissimo tempo. Forza, puoi farlo!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've just made · I've explained · I've made |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should do · should make |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | are creating · you're completing · is doing |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will talk · will have · will do |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
