Do vs. Make: School and Studying Collocations

Choosing between "do" and "make" is a common challenge for English learners. Generally, we use "do" for tasks, activities, and obligations (like doing homework or doing your best), while "make" is used when creating, producing, or achieving something new (like making a mistake or making progress).

In this challenge, you will practice these essential collocations in fun, everyday educational scenarios. You'll help students deliver classic excuses for missing assignments, text friends about math errors, write end-of-year report cards, and give study advice to college freshmen. Along the way, you'll master essential academic phrasing like do a course, make notes, do an exam, and make friends.
