Some people say that we use the verb to with mental activities and make with more physical ones.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t seem to be the case so my tip is: whenever you run into collocations with make or do, write them down and learn them by heart because there\u2019s no logical way of knowing when to use one or the other.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the plethora of phrasal verbs with the verbs do and make there are some very useful fixed expressions you should learn.
