Do x Make
Do and Make are two of the most common verbs in English. They are also two of the most commonly confused verbs in English! There are two main reasons for this:
→ Many languages have only one of these verbs. For example, in Italian fare translates for both do and make.
→ Many of the expressions are fixed expressions such as: make the bed, do homework.
General Rules for Do
Use do
when speaking about vague, or indefinite activities. These include speaking in general using -thing words such as something, anything, nothing, etc;
for activities. This includes any chores or daily tasks.
General Rules for Make
Generally, use make when actually constructing or creating something (in other words, not for activities).

Had better
We use “had better” plus the infinitive without “to” to give advice. Although “had” is the past form of “have”, we use “had better” to give advice about the present or future.
Examples: You’d better buy the blue sweater.
He’d better arrive earlier at the office.
The negative form is “had better not”.
Example: You had better not go to the party.
However, when we use “had better” there is a suggestion that if the advice is not followed, something bad will happen.

I. I'd better study more or else I’ll pass the exams.
II. You’d better not tell her about the broken glass – she will go crazy.
III. We'd better get to the airport by ten or else we may miss the flight.
