Help Alex complete the slightly passive-aggressive sticky note left for their messy roommate. Choose the correct verb for each gap.
Hey! Before the guests arrive tonight, please _________________________ your bed. It looks like a bear slept in it! I am going to _________________________ some laundry now, so bring me your dirty shirts. Also, please don't _________________________ a mess in the kitchen while you cook. Finally, can you _________________________ me a favor and take out the trash? Thanks!
Here are the correct collocations:
- make your bed: We use make when we are arranging or creating something (even if the bed already exists, we are "creating" a tidy state).
- do laundry: We use do for household chores, repetitive tasks, and general work.
- make a mess: We use make for creating or producing something, including chaos!
- do a favor: This is a fixed expression. We do favors, meaning we perform a helpful action for someone.
