[محمد البوتلي]

There is no specific rule to follow when talking about these two words make and do
But you can make use of the hints that will follow



Do

We always use do to describe indefinite activities, often with what, thing, anything, nothing, etc

كثيرا ما نستخدم كلمة do لوصف أعمال غير محدد عادة مع كلمة ماذا
