? Learn the difference between the most commonly confused verb pairs in English. This is an important lesson for beginners because these are basic verbs that you need to use in everyday conversations. I’ll explain exactly how each word is used, with examples on the board. Take the quiz to make sure you remember how to use these words correctly. Next, study my free resource page on when to use “do” and “make”. Your English will improve tremendously by correcting these errors, so let’s get started!

This was a tremendous English lesson – better than I usually do! The only comment I have concerns “do a course” versus “make a course.” As a teacher, I can “make a course” of course. God willing, I’ll show this video to my students sometime this week.

I’m going to ask you join to TEC group stands for Telegram English Class
I don’t know how your email address to mail the address mine is..
n.s.sajadian@gmail.com
Excuse me not how what is
Thanks a lot Rebecca for your lesson!You explained very simply and clearly. Your lessons helps me to improve my English.
Great,thanks alot
I thought it might be easy but it wasn`t.
Hi, thanks a lot for your explication. I have a question for you: What the difference betwen wipe and clean?
I truly believe Make and Do are the most confusing verbs, I dont know why, it`s just like you said, just reading a lot we are going be able to use them in a proper way naturally.
Thanks Rebecca!
In order to make less mistakes, better to do our homework and study your do/make sentence examples.
Thanks mam god bless you
Hi Rebecca I got 10/10.
I have been studied this verbs a lot of time ago, and your review helped me remember.
So Do and Make is pretty difficult to me, but let’s go ahead toward to have a better English.
Thanks a Lot, and keep on doing ours best classes!!!!
You are so lovely Rebecca! You always trying to cheer your students up… you do a GREAT job!
Hugs!?
Hi Rebecca, I beat the quiz, 10/10. Thanks for your help, some of this words can be trick.
Can you pls make a video about the lose,loose and lost ? Quiet,Quite and Quit.I know the definition of each word but sometimes I have a hard time determining which is the proper words to used specially in crucial time.
THanks! i was a little confused with some words, but now is clear, you are a great teacher.
Thank you Rebecca! 9/10. The 6th was difficult!
Thanks Rebecca! I confused about the words take and borrow.
You say ‘take’ is ‘move away from speaker’.
Hence I can say to my friend: “Take my book I don’t need it”.
But I cannot say: “Take me your book I need it”
It’s right? That is to say ‘take’ can only person who have something, right?
If father has car then he can take me it temporary. It’s right? If borrow is ‘take temporary’ then borrow is right word for your example, isn’t it?
I got 10!
It was really good Thanks
It’s a really good lesson, it helps me a lot, thank you!
Thanks Rebecca!
Thanks Rebeccal for the lesson Got a 100%
Rebecca you are great! You teach us so clearly and directly that is impossible do not understand! Learning English with you is a pleasure!
Hi,Rebecca, thanks for the lesson. However I have a doubt. In what cases use TO DO TIME and TO MAKE TIME. because, in the list, i saw this, and I´dont know when use to do time or to make time in a setence. Thank you for your excelent lesson.
Thanks, Rebecca. It’s very helpful lesson. I got 100
Thank you! Rebecca It was a wonderful learning from you. I got perfect score.
Thank’s teacher I feel my language is improved when i see and hear your video thanks again from my heart
I getting fantastic …
Question 6) Could you please __________ this book back to the library when you leave? Thanks.
bring
take
– So the reason i chose to go with, “bring” was because in my head, if the speaker was a librarian, then the book would be the property of the library. In this case, it would be in the care of the librarian. Thus you would be bringing it back to the library, on return of reading it outside the library ? however if the person asking you was a friend who borrowed the book from the library, then it would be take ? is my thinking logical or have i made a mistake ?
Oh, im sorry. in my mind i was thinking of a library in a university, I thought that “leave” was in reference toa student “leaving university”, as in , you have graduated, therefore you would need to return the book back to the library.
Last example.
I think the sentence “We made a course” is true too.
If we are teachers and we make different courses for students?
Am I right?
thank you it was so great full i get 100
Thank you so much. There is a James’s video about do and make. I would recommend it to everybody
i got 9 of 10!thank you!
Woowww, Its was amezing…!

Hi,
Could you give me the correct answer on this example.
My father is in the garden, he left a spade in the shed. Could you bring/take it to him?
You got 9 correct out of 10 !!!
5of10
It was so difficult for me so that I would relearn it.

Thanks a lot, teacher Mrs. Rebecca.Every time I see your video, you make me enthusiasm to learning English.You Are exceptional to me.I’m waiting your new video.Take Care Teacher.
Dear Rebecca
I think there is a mistake in question no.9 in Quiz
because the sentence in present not in past , we must choose Lend not Lent.
9. My brother ____________ me his cool jacket.
lend
lent
Present tense = lend Past tense = lent
which one is correct? and why?
very good lesson (y)
There is nothing wrong with the question sir. The speaker is telling someone about what the brother did.
Wow! really amazing in learning these kind of lessons. I got 10 out of 10.
Thank you.
So nice
Very good lesson, you’re the best teacher, the way you explain is way more understandable. God bless you.

Which of second sentences is correct in this case: “Please DO it.” or “Please MAKE it.”
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Rebecca,
If we misuse “do” and “make” in everyday conversation or messaging [like ‘I did a mistake’ or ‘I made homework’], how is this to be understood? Funny.. ignorant.. highlighting.. or a simple and understandable mistake?
Tbanks for your lesson.Have a good day teacher.
