I am not sure I can agree with your analysis of the use of these two words. Some examples of made: I made a cake he made a fool of himself by getting drunk and falling over he made good time on the journey as the traffic was light he made a very convincing argument against the imposition of tarrifs he finally made it to the big time when he got the lead in the movie he made me do it, even though I didn't want to what made you think I didn't like you? Some examples of using do. How do you do? (a set phrase used as a greeting, usually only the first time you meet someone) How did you do that? What do you do? (a set phrase asking what someone does for a job) how do you know that he isn't coming? If you do it this way, it will be quicker Do you really think she likes me? This is a good do (British English, where a 'do' is a party, a celebratory event) Do be quiet! (usually with emphasis on the do, usually said in exasperation at someone who won't be quiet). Hopefully this selection gives you some idea of the uses of the two words.
