DO
- Use “do” when talking about jobs, works, duties, leisures or tasks that do not produce anything physically tangible: E.g.: “You are doing a great job!”
- It is common to use do when referring to indefinite activities, often together with words like something, what, thing, anything, nothing, everything, etc. E.g.: “We did something beautiful”
- In informal English you can use it to replace a verb when the meaning is obvious: E.g.: “I’m doing the dishes”
