DO and MAKEhave different meanings. Domeans to perform routine work.

Make means to create. Hence, we say, for example, «I did my homework yesterday». Here you use «do» because you had been taught how to fulfill this work. But you say «I made mistake» because it’s your own fancy.

DO is used in many wide spread expressions, such as:

He did his best and won the prize.

The accident isn’t his fault; it has nothing to do with him.

How do you do.

Tell the truth and have done with it!

You must do without much drink.

This is all I have, will it do?

It won’t do you any harm ….

This is the best I can do for you.

If DO precedes another verb, it emphasizes it and

is often used when you invite smb to do smth:

Do come to tea; do sit down; do take off your coat.

Sometimes it’s used to stress your absolute persuasion:

I do know it! I do love you! I do understand it!

If MAKE precedes another verb it has a shade of

compulsion:

I’ll make you do this work from the very beginning up to the end!

Pay attention to the bare infinitive in this case.
