B2.1 - MAKE & DO

Collocations in a language are very important because they make you sound more natural. Here are you a link which gives you a lot of information about them: click here. If you click here you'll find a list of common collocations

But one of the most difficult collocations for Spanish speakers is the use of DO and MAKE, as they are usual in English but in Spanish we only have one single verb for both and they must be learnt by heart; a list is shown here.

In general, we use MAKE when we use our hands or it is related to building up or constracting something, while DO is more connected with intellectual activities or something more general. To see the difference and a general explanation you can use this video.
Nevertheless, there are some more links to see this grammar point: this video
