Review Summary

  • Do (tasks/work) vs Make (create/produce)
  • Verb + No -ing
  • Verb + Particle

常见错误

Know is a stative verb, it describes a state of mind, so it doesn't take the -ing form.

Wrong: I am knowing the answer.
正确: I know the answer.

Homework is a task or chore, not a physical object you create from scratch, so it pairs with do.

Wrong: I made my homework.
正确: I did my homework.

With many phrasal verbs, the pronoun (it) must go between the verb and the particle.

Wrong: Please turn on it.
正确: Please turn it on.
