1 making: 'To make faces' is to grimace or distort the face. This expression uses the verb 'to make'. The present progressive tense is used here because the action is in progress (Sarah is currently making faces).
2 make: In English, we 'make a cake' because we are creating something. The future tense is used here because Sarah is offering to carry out an action in the future. Following the future tense auxiliary 'will', we use the infinitive form of the main verb (without 'to'). Example: 'I will read and critique all of your poems'.
3 making: To 'make an effort' means to try hard to do something, or to attempt to do it. This expression uses the verb 'to make'. The present progressive tense is used here because Mummy is referring to an action that is continuous or 'in progress'.
4 do: To 'do the laundry' means to wash one's dirty clothes or linen. This construction is formed with the verb 'to do'. The future simple tense is used here because Sarah is offering to perform this action in the future.
