• Cara mudah mengingat: kegiatan membersihkan sesuatu biasanya pakai do (do the dishes, do the laundry), sedangkan menciptakan/menyiapkan sesuatu pakai make (make the bed, make breakfast).

Kesalahan umum

• ❌ "I make the dishes every night." → ✅ "I do the dishes every night." (pekerjaan rumah tangga memakai do, bukan make)
• ❌ "Please do your bed before school." → ✅ "Please make your bed before school." (make the bed adalah pengecualian tetap — memakai make, bukan do)
• ❌ "I do breakfast every morning." → ✅ "I make breakfast every morning." (memasak/menyiapkan makanan memakai make, bukan do)
