These two words, sometimes used interchangeably in English, are forms that are sometimes difficult for second language speakers of English to master.
Do is an axillary, meaning that it helps the verb, and is often used in the question form,
For example Do you want to go? The third person form is, does he or she want to go?
It can also be used in the imperative form,
for example: Do your homework, where it is the verb.
Make is a verb, for example: make a cake, make a mistake, make your bed.
The rules of when to use do, and when to use make, are instinctive to native speakers of English, but must be learned
by second language speakers, and can prove very tricky.
You can't say make your job for example, but you can say,
Do your job.
