If it makes you happy...does he wash up?

For all of you who are at a pre-intermediate to upper intermediate level, a tricky thing has always been the uses of "make" and "do" in expressions. There really isn't an easy way around it, but I always say if it's done physically (like with your hands) you make it, and if you have to think about it, use do.

Make:

Food, Drink and Meals:
make a cake, make dinner, make breakfast.
Material / Origin:
made of gold, made in China
Cause a reaction: 
make your heart break, make me smile, make you happy
Plans / Choices: 
make arrangements, make a decision, make plans.
Sounds and speech: 
make a noise, make a presentation, make a complaint, make a suggestion. 

Here are some songs to help you along:

Do:

Tasks and work: 

do the washing up, do your homework, do a good job.
Non-specific activities:
do something, do nothing, do anything, do everything.
Replaces verb  when it's obvious:
do your hair, do your nails, do the dishes.
