1 make: 'To make an observation' is an expression formed with the verb 'to make'. We use the infinitive form of the verb here (without 'to') because it follows the auxiliary 'can' ('Can I make...' is the interrogative form). 'To make an observation' is to make a remark about or express a thought on a topic. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
2 make: 'To make a fool of (someone, oneself)' is to embarrass or humiliate (someone or oneself). The expression is formed with the verb 'to make'. Susie is informing Philip that he will surely embarrass himself by making the observation he wants to make. We use the infinitive form of the verb 'to make' (without 'to') following the auxiliary 'will'. 'You'll make a fool of yourself' uses a verb in the simple future tense. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
3 done: In English, one 'does research'. In this construction, we use the past participle of the verb 'to do' (done), forming the present perfect tense. The auxiliary 'have' which precedes the verb indicates the use of the present perfect. We use the present perfect tense to indicate an action which took place at an unspecified time in the past. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
4 do: In English, we 'do a favor', not 'make a favor'. 'To do someone a favor' is to provide a service for them or help them in some way. Here Susie sarcastically requests that Philip performs the service of leaving her office, because she is angry with him. Here, 'do' is the imperative form of the verb 'to do'. The imperative form of all verbs is simply the infinitive form (without 'to'). In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
