Make Versus Do

During the course of teaching , we discover that some vocab exercises have to be tackled separately.This is a small contribution to help students recycle their use of “make” and “do”. It is always annoying for students to use the correct verb and distinguish between the expressions that collocate with “make” and the ones that collocate with “do”. This is a sole consolidation activity that could be dealt with as a post-reading activity.

Hope you enjoy “doing” the activity and you “make” progress.
