Horatio says to Polly, "I don't do mistake". This statement is grammatically incorrect.
Which of the following sentences correctly expresses the same idea?
Which of the following sentences correctly expresses the same idea?
Horatio says to Polly, "I don't do mistake". This statement is grammatically incorrect.
Which of the following sentences correctly expresses the same idea?
Which of the following sentences correctly expresses the same idea?
This is incorrect. In English, we "make a mistake", we don't "do a mistake".
In English, we "make a mistake", we don't "do a mistake". In the present tense form, we can say "I don't make mistakes" to make a general statement. If Horatio wanted to deny that he made a mistake in the past, he could say "I didn't make a mistake".
This is incorrect. Although it is true that "we make mistakes" and we don't "do them", we still must conjugate the verb "make" correctly. The auxiliary "didn't" should be followed by the infinitive form of the verb "to make" (without "to").
This is incorrect. In English, we "make a mistake", we don't "do a mistake".

Fill in the blanks below with either 'to make' or 'to do'.
Remember to conjugate the verbs correctly
Bruno: Have you made 1 any progress on the new perfumes, Horatio?

Bruno: That doesn't make 3 any sense.
Horatio: Sorry. I suppose I have made 4 a mistake.
Remember to conjugate the verbs correctly
Bruno: Have you made 1 any progress on the new perfumes, Horatio?
Horatio: No, but I've done 2 the housework.
Bruno: That doesn't make 3 any sense.
Horatio: Sorry. I suppose I have made 4 a mistake.
1 made: 'To make progress' is an expression which is formed with the verb 'to make'. We use the present perfect tense because this action occurred at an unknown or unspecified point in the past. The present perfect tense is formed with the auxiliary verb 'to have' plus the past participle of the main verb (made).
2 done: In English, one 'does the housework'. We use the verb 'to do' to form this construction. 'To do the housework' is to clean up around the house: sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, etc. We use the present perfect tense here following the auxiliary construction 'I've' (I have). Using this tense suggests that Horatio did the housework at an unspecified time in the past.
3 make: The construction 'to make sense' is formed with the verb 'to make'. The expression 'that makes sense' indicates that something (an explanation, an argument) is logical or sound. We use the infinitive form of the verb 'to make' (without 'to') following the auxiliary 'doesn't'. Bruno is expressing that Horatio's comment that he has done the housework is 'strange' or 'illogical'.
4 made: This is correct. We use the present perfect tense (which uses the past participle form of the verb, 'made') because this action occurred at an unknown or unspecified point in the past.

1 mistake: "Mistake" is the correct answer. A "mistake" is an "error", or something which you did and now regret. Example: "I only made two mistakes in my English lesson this morning. I'm so happy!".
2 frozen: "Frozen" is the right answer here. A "frozen" omelette is one which has been stored at a very cold temperature (in a "freezer") in order to preserve it for longer. That sounds disgusting doesn't it?! Some frozen products, like peas and soya ice cream are nice! "Frozen" comes from the irregular verb "to freeze": freeze/froze/frozen.
3 catering: "Catering" is the right answer here. The "catering industry" is the sector which prepares, delivers, and/or serves food to customers, usually on a large scale. People who work in this area are called "caterers". Example: "Our current catering company is awful: we really need new caterers".
4 hungry: "Hungry" is the correct answer here. Someone is "hungry" when they suffer from "hunger": a lack of food. Example: "Since I fell pregnant, I've been hungry all the time".

1 make: This is correct: we make a noise. Phrases like this have to be learned by heart: there's no real trick to remembering them!
1 do: No, we don't "do" a noise.
2 made: "Made" is the right choice here. Example: "If you make any mistakes in this exercise, we will know that you need to review the differences between "to make" and "to do"!".
2 did: Sorry, but we can't use "did" here.
3 do: We "do someone a favour" (UK) or a "favor" (US). Here's another example: "Philip is very rude: I did him a huge favour and he didn't even thank me".
3 make: No, we don't "make a favour"!
