Do vs. Make

Do is used for actions, activities and jobs. It is used in a broad sense, as "performing".

We use "do" when we talk about things in general, when we do not say exactly what activity. In this sense, it is used a lot with indefinite pronouns like "something", "anything", "nothing", etc.

do justice

do damage

do business

do a favor

do good

These actions and activities do not produce a physical object.

Examples

do exercise

do housework

do the dishes

do a job

do homework

"Make" is used in the sense of "make", "elaborate" or "create".

It is used for activities that create something that can be touched, a physical object.
