What's the difference between?

Hello everybody! Today I got (had) a little problem in my English class and It was: the difference between "make" and "do"
When do we use "do" or "make" in a sentence?
Please, help me because I want know about it and I don't wanna make an error speaking English:(

Hey you're doing fine !! Good job :)

Anyway, to "make" is to create and do is when a person performs an action. For example : "What did you do?" "You cant do that." "I still have a lot to do." Whereas make is creating something. "I made a cake."

However there are a few exceptions for make. Make can also mean: forcing someone to complete an action. "I made him run 10 labs around the field" "You cant make me do that!"

Hope that helps.

p.s. there is a question section where you can ask questions.
