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!

Context & Achtergrond

In de video praat Lucy over een veel voorkomend probleem bij Engels leren: het onderscheid tussen "make" en "do". Veel leerlingen worstelen met deze woorden omdat ze in veel talen slechts één woord hebben (zoals "hacer" in het Spaans). Lucy legt uit dat "make" over het creëren van iets nieuws gaat, terwijl "do" over het uitvoeren van een bestaande taak. Daarna geeft ze voorbeelden en noemt ze uitzonderingen, wat het een perfecte bron maakt om je engels spreekvaardigheid oefenen met praktische situaties.

Top 5 Zinnen voor Dagelijks Gebruik

  • "Shall I make you a cup of tea?" (Mag ik je een kop thee maken?)
  • "I have to do my homework tonight." (Ik moet vanavond mijn huiswerk doen.)
  • "She made a profit last month." (Ze maakte vorige maand winst.)
  • "I did badly in the exam." (Ik deed slecht op het examen.)
  • "Pleasure doing business with you." (Fijn om zaken met je te doen.)

Stapsgewijze Gids voor Schaduwspreken

Wil je deze video gebruiken om schaduwspreken te oefenen? Volg deze stappen: 1. Luister eerst de video een keer door om de context te begrijpen. 2. Kies een korte passage (bijv. de uitleg over "make" of "do") en herhaal deze langzaam, na te luisteren naar de intonatie en tempo. 3. Probeer de zinnen te kopiëren alsof je Lucy bent – let op de klinkers en medeklinkers. 4. Herhaal dit met uitzonderingen (zoals "do my hair" of "make my bed") om de rare gevallen te onthouden. 5. Op een shadowing site kun je de video op pauze zetten en herhalen, maar zelfs met een simpele video speler kun je veel bereiken! Met deze methode leer je niet alleen het onderscheid tussen "make" en "do", maar verbetert je ook je spreekvaardigheid. Onthoud: praktijk maakt perfect! Dus neem de tijd, herhaal veel en geniet van het proces om engels met video's te leren. Je zult zien dat je snel vorderingen maakt – ik geloof in je!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
