Make things!
Do actions!
:)

do: to perform an action or job
what are you doing? i'm doing my homework .
make: to produce or build something
i always make my clothes.
i made a mistake.
to make it simple, use do when your role is just to complete or add something
like the homework you have, you will answer it
but make when your role is to create something or produce a new thing like make a cake

These are two English words which get confused by nearly everyone learning English as a second language.
"Make" implies that something is produced.
"Do" implies some action.
"I am making plans." "I am going to make dinner."
"What are you doing right now?" "I am resting."
"Make" could be said in answer to a "do" question:
"What are you doing." "I'm making a table."
One idiomatic expression - You don't make business, you do business. There is no reason for this other than tradition.

Make = genericamente è un fare nel senso di "creare" o "costruire";
come per esempio dire fare una torta, fare un sandwich,...
Do = il restante
