"Make" is one of the most versatile verbs in English. We use it when we create, produce, or cause something.
("Make" ইংরেজির সবচেয়ে বহুমুখী ক্রিয়াপদগুলির মধ্যে একটি। আমরা এটি ব্যবহার করি যখন আমরা কিছু তৈরি করি, উৎপাদন করি বা ঘটাই।)
However, "make" doesn't go with every word. For example, we say "make a decision" – not "do a decision". We say "make a mistake" – not "do a mistake".
(তবে "make" প্রতিটি শব্দের সাথে যায় না। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, আমরা "make a decision" বলি – "do a decision" নয়।)
