»Make« in »do« sta glagola, ki pogostokrat zmedeta učence angleškega jezika, posebej takrat ko se uporabljata kot samostojna, polnopomenska glagola. V tem prispevku si bomo pogledali, kakšna so pravila za njuno rabo.
Glagol »DO« uporabljamo:
- ko govorimo o delu, poklicih ali zadolžitvah oz. nalogah. Bodite pozorni na to, da noben od le-teh ne proizvede nekega fizičnega predmeta.
Have they done their homework?
I have friends visiting tonight so I should start doing the housework now.
I would really like to do that job.
- ko omenjamo aktivnosti na splošno, brez da smo specifični. V takih primerih ponavadi uporabimo zaimke, kot so something, nothing, anything, everything itd. Lahko uporabimo tudi samo besedo »thing«.
Hurry up! I don’t have all day! I have things to do!
Don’t just look at me – do something!
Is there anything I can do to help you?
- za nadomeščanje nekega drugega glagola, pri čemer je pomen drugega glagola jasen iz konteksta. To se pogosto uporablja v govorni angleščini.
Do I need to do my hair? (do = počesati, krtačiti)
Have you done the dishes yet? (done = pomiti)
I’ll do the kitchen if you do the lawns (do = počistiti, do = pokositi)
