Default Re: 'Do analysis' versus 'make analysis'

It is incorrect to say 'make an analysis'. You do it, not make it. 'Do' is more abstract than 'make'.

Generally, we use the verb 'make' for constructing, building or creating .


make a dress
make food
make a cup of tea / coffee

...and the verb 'do' when someone performs an action, activity or task.

do your work
do homework
do housework
do your job, task, analysis, chores...


DO versus MAKE
