 Re: How do you teach the difference between "make" and "do"?
As an activity to practice the difference between when to use "make" and when to use "do" write out a paragraph or two in which you use both words frequently. Erase each example of "make" or "do" in the passage and leave a blank space. Print it out and pass it out to students. Tell them to use the rules that are listed in the previous post and figure out whether "make" or "do" should be inserted in each blank. Have the students work in groups. I love this activity since the students see the words in context. |
