Main Grammar activity

Use “make” for when you create or produce something. Use “do” for actions you must do,
like jobs or work, and for general activities, especially activities you repeat often

Make vs. Do (+ Don’t / Doesn’t)                                                                                       15-20

We’re going to spend the next five minutes reviewing ‘make’ and ‘do’ as the main verb as well
as ‘doesn’t’ and ‘don’t’ as the auxiliary verb. I’ll give you two actions and you’ll tell me that you
do the first one but not the second. For example: 
Teacher: the bed / the dishes 
S1: I make the bed but I don’t do the dishes
Teacher: And us? 
S3: We make the bed but we don’t do the dishes
