Rawr. Yeah, I'm jumping a lot. So, in English we have a verb called "make",
and probably in your language you also have a verb that you use as "make", but maybe it's
the same verb; like in Portuguese: "fazer". Oh, I hope I said that right. So, it's very, very, very, very, very, very
confusing about, in English, when to use the verb "make" and when to not use the verb "make". So, I've made-oo-a lesson for you with some
really easy examples of when not to use the verb "make" and when to use the verb "make". Johnny, this is for you. Thanks for your help. Let's do when not to use it, okay? So, we don't say: "I made a boyfriend" or
"a girlfriend", or: "I want to make a boyfriend" or "a girlfriend". This would be the dream of everyone because
if you could make a boyfriend or a girlfriend, that means that I would create the perfect
specimen of a man. So, I would make a boyfriend and he would
be perfect. So, unfortunately, we cannot do this, but
we use the verb "get". So, in your language, maybe naturally you
want to say: "I made a boyfriend." In English, you'd have to say: "I got a boyfriend",
in the past tense, or: "I will get a boyfriend" or "girlfriend" - maybe both. Good. Do whatever you do. So, don't use "make"; use "get". When you are doing exercise, you do not need
to say: "I will make exercise" or "I made exercise". "Exercise" is actually a verb - yay. So, you can say, past tense: "I exercised
yesterday" or "I will exercise". An example of one kind of exercise is called
a "push-up". A "push-up" is when: "Oh, I... no... I'm going to do one." I just did a hundred. Yay. Did you see them? Yeah, you did. Okay. So, "push-ups" are when you push yourself
up off the ground. So, we don't say: "I made a push-up"; we can
use the verb "do". So: "I do push-ups", or past tense: "I did
push-ups". You can say: "I do exercise" or "I did exercise",
but again, it's not necessary because "exercise" is a verb. A "push-up" is a noun, so we definitely need
a verb with that, so: "I do" or "I did push-ups". Every year on your birthday you become older. We do not say, for example: "I made 21." I'm going to be 22 next year. Yay. See, that makes more sense, though, doesn't
it? Because you didn't die so you actually made
the year - yeah! But we don't say that; English is more confusing. We say: "I will turn 22". Or, past tense: "I turned 22." We don't say: "I make 22". Next one: "Makeup". Now, "makeup" is a noun. "Makeup" is cosmetics. Okay? So, I hear a lot of people say: "Today I makeup." You make up what? What did you make up? So, if you said: "I made something up" it
means in your brain it was a fantasy. So, if you're talking about cosmetics, you
need to use the phrasal verb: "put on". You could say: "applied", but that's very
formal. So, you... you guys need to say: "I put on
makeup." You can't just say: "I makeup." You are makeup? Oh my God. What are you? Next one: "homework". Oh, do you like homework? Yeah, do it. Okay? And a test. You cannot make homework. You cannot make a test. If you are a student, you do homework or you
do a test. Now, because I get to be a teacher, I make
homework and I make the tests. So, this means that I create the homework
and I tell you to do it, or I make the test and you do the test. You can substitute the verb "write" also for
a test; but in North America, we say: "I do a test" or "I do homework". So, your teacher makes the homework or makes
the test, and you do it. Did you do your homework? Don't do your homework; it's boring. Sex - woo-hoo. Maybe in your language you say: "I made sex". Well, that's weird. We say: "I have" or "I had sex". "Make", sure. English, you say: "I made a baby" because
you actually created it, but we don't just say "sex"; we actually say: "have sex". And we don't say: "do sex"; that's funny. "I want to do sex" - no, don't say that. So, we say: "I want to have sex". Next one: "Luggage". So, "luggage" means you put all your crap
into a suitcase or a bag, and this becomes your luggage. So, you can say: "luggage" or "baggage". You don't say: "I made my luggage". We have a special verb only for "luggage"
and other things; we can say: "pack". So, maybe you are going to go on a trip and
you say: "Oh, I have to pack my luggage"; you don't make the luggage, you don't do the
luggage. Do you know what it means if you say: "I do
my luggage"? It means that you have sex with your luggage. Do you do that? If you have sex with your luggage, then that's
fine but it's kind of strange; and don't tell people, okay? So, we pack our bags or we pack our luggage;
we don't make it. Everyone clear now? We have to be careful with the verb "do" because
"do" implies sex. If you do some strange things, that's fine. Okay? Then we have in your language, maybe you don't
use the verb "make", but we do. English just gets more and more confusing
the more you learn it - that's why I'm here to help you. So, when we should use "make" or "made" in
English. Now, in Portuguese, you guys might say: "I
take a choice. I take a decision." I like that; that's cute, but we don't say
that. Portuguese makes more sense. In English, we make a choice, we make a decision,
and we can also make mistakes or a mistake. This is how English confuses you because I
just told you that you don't make a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but for a friend somehow
we are able to make friends. Thank you, English, for being super-confusing. So, you can make a friend, you can make a
new friend, but you cannot actually make a boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't know. I don't know. We "make a commitment". If you make a commitment, it's like you're
making a promise to someone, like: "I promise to love you forever." So, we make this; we create this. We can also make your bed. This doesn't make sense to me. When you look at the base of the word... the
verb "make", it basically means to create something. So, logically, you make a cake. Okay? You have eggs and flour - put it together-magic;
dunh-dunh-dunh-you have made or created a cake. But we have to say: "I'm going to make my
bed." Now, you are not constructing a bed. To make your bed you're actually taking the
covers and putting them back straight. Personally, waste of time I think; I'm not
going to make my bed in the morning - I'm just going to get back into that thing and
make it messy again, but it looks nice. So, we don't do your bed because that would
mean you would have sex with your bed; not in, but with your bed. So, you actually have to make your bed. So, you make the sheets all nice and beautiful
and... okay. We can also "make food"; "prepare" and "make". We prepare food, but more naturally we would
say: "I make food". "I will make dinner" - this means: I will
prepare it or cook it. And then when we eat it, we use the verb "have":
"I will have dinner" or "have lunch". So, first we make it, or cook it, or prepare
it, and then we eat it - that's the best part. You can "make a presentation". This means you are collecting the information
and you're actually writing a presentation. So, maybe your friend says: "Hey. Hey, let's do something tonight", and you
say: "No, I can't. I have to make a presentation." Then the next day you are going to "do the
presentation". "Do the presentation" means you actually stand
up in front of all those people who are staring at you and you - blah; and you speak. You talk about the presentation that you have
made. So: "Make a presentation" means to prepare
something; "do the presentation" means to actually speak. So, in this for English we can use two verbs. And the last one is a phrasal verb: "make
out". Do you know what "make out" means? "Out". Out, leave - go; bye. "Make in", "make out". So, "make out" basically means you kiss someone
for a long time. Hopefully not your mother or your father. Okay? That's kind of gross. But, again, whatever you do, that's fine. If you "make out with someone", it means you
kiss someone, you touch them for a prolonged period of time. And then maybe, maybe, maybe after that you
can have sex. I don't know. That's your choice, again. But please don't have sex with your bed. Okay? Don't do your bed, and don't do other things
because that's weird. "Make" - sometimes we use; sometimes we don't. If you're confused about it, welcome to English
language. But I want to help you, so if you have questions
