AUTO-ENGLISH GRAMMAR NOTES - MAKE AND DO

There is very little difference in meaning between the verbs make and do. Unfortunately we either use make or do in expressions and if you use the wrong one by mistake, it does not cloud the meaning but it does sounds funny. I'm afraid the only way to use make and do correctly is to study the expressions. Sorry. There are less expressions that use do so I suggest you memorize those, read through the make column and then do the exercise, Good luck!

MAKE
to make an agreement to make amends to make an apology to make an appointment to make the arrangements to make the bed to make a cake* to make a complaint to make a deal to make a decision

DO
to do your best to do crosswords to do damage to do exercise to do the ironing to do someone a favour to do science, maths etc. to do your homework to do the shopping to do someone good

to make difficulties to make an effort to make an excuse to make a fortune to make friends to make fun of someone to make a fuss to make a living to make a mess to make a mistake to make a noise to make an offer to make a phone call to make plans to make a profit to make progress to make a promise to make a suggestiom to make a trip to make up one's mind *We also say to bake a cake Interactive exercise
THE QUANTIFIERS A few and few, a little and little

to do the washing up to do well

Printable exercise

These expressions show the speaker's attitude towards the quantity he/she is referring to. A few (for countable nouns) and a little (for uncountable nouns) describe the quantity in a positive way:

"I've got a few friends" (= maybe not many, but enough) "I've got a little money" (= I've got enough to live on)

Few and little describe the quantity in a negative way:

Few people visited him in hospital (= he had almost no visitors) He had little money (= almost no money)

THE QUANTIFIERS Some and Any Some and any are used with countable and uncountable nouns, to describe an indefinite or incomplete quantity. Some is used in positive statements:

I had some rice for lunch

He's got some books from the library.

It is also used in questions where we are sure about the answer:

Did he give you some tea? (= I'm sure he did.) Is there some fruit juice in the fridge? (= I think there is)

Some is used in situations where the question is not a request for information, but a method of making a request, encouraging or giving an invitation:

Could I have some books, please? Why don't you take some books home with you? Would you like some books?

Any is used in questions and with not in negative statements:

Have you got any tea? He didn't give me any tea. I don't think we've got any coffee left.

More examples: SOME in positive sentences. a. I will have some news next week. b. She has some valuable books in her house. c. Philip wants some help with his exams. d. There is some butter in the fridge. e. We need some cheese if we want to make a fondue. SOME in questions: a. Would you like some help? b. Will you have some more roast beef? ANY in negative sentences a. She doesn't want any kitchen appliances for Christmas. b. They don't want any help moving to their new house. c. No, thank you. I don't want any more cake. d. There isn't any reason to complain. ANY in interrogative sentences a. Do you have any friends in London? b. Have they got any children? c. Do you want any groceries from the shop? d. Are there any problems with your work?

Compound nouns made with SOME, ANY and NO Some + Any + No + Compound nouns with some- and any- are used in the same way as some and any. Positive statements: -thing -body -one -where

Questions:

Someone is sleeping in my bed. He saw something in the garden. I left my glasses somewhere in the house.

Are you looking for someone? (= I'm sure you are) Have you lost something? (= I'm sure you have) Is there anything to eat? (real question) Did you go anywhere last night?

Negative statements:

She didn't go anywhere last night. He doesn't know anybody here.

NOTICE that there is a difference in emphasis between nothing, nobody etc. and not ... anything,not ... anybody:

I don't know anything about it. (= neutral, no emphasis) I know nothing about it (= more emphatic, maybe defensive)

More examples: SOMETHING, SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE a. I have something to tell you. b. There is something to drink in the fridge. c. He knows somebody in New York d. Susie has somebody staying with her. e. They want to go somewhere hot for their holidays. f. Keith is looking for somewhere to live. ANYBODY, ANYTHING, ANYWHERE a.
