Prefazione
Per molti studenti di Inglese e’ difficile capire come usare correttamente I verbi do e make. Ci sono
tantissime espressioni in inglese che utilizzano questi verbi ed è molto facile scegliere quella sbagliata.
“Do”può essere usato come verbo ausiliare, ad esempio: Do you speak English? (Parli inglese?);Oppure
come verbo principale, ad esempio: I did a test this morning (Ho fatto un test questa mattina). Quando viene
usato come verbo ausiliare, non ha alcun significato; Fa semplicemente parte della struttura grammaticale
della frase. Il verbo ”do” viene anche usato come parte di molte espressioni di tutti i giorni, ad esempio: to do
a test (fare un test), to do the washing up (lavarele stoviglie), ecc
“Make” non è un verbo ausiliare. È sempre verbo principale, ad esempio:”I made a complaint last
week”(Ho fatto un reclamo la settimana scorsa).
Gli Inglesi di solito usano il “make” quando si parla di costruire, creare, fare artigianalmente.
Spesso usano il “do” quando si esegue un qualcosa in maniera attiva, un compito , un’azione. Ci sono
comunque molte eccezioni a queste regole è perciò meglio imparare le espressioni a memoria. Questa breve
guida vi aiuterà a raggiungere questo obiettivo!
In questo libro troverete oltre 100 espressioni con l’utilizzo del “do” e “make”. Ogni espressione è un
esempio di utilizzo in un contesto specifico. Vi è una sezione sui verbi frasali con “do” e “make”.
Il libro contiene anche esercizi di grammatica con le risposte.
Alla fine troverete un breve racconto intitolato ‘101 Things to Do...’ (“101 Cose da fare ...”). E 'stato scritto
appositamente per studenti di inglese e utilizza molte delle espressioni trattate nel libro.

Tipi di verbo frasale
I verbi frasali sono notoriamente difficili per gli studenti di Inglese. Sfortunatamente, essi sono estremamente
comuni, specialmente nell’Inglese parlato. Un verbo frasale è un verbo abbinato ad una preposizione (o due
preposizioni). La preposizione può aggiungere un significato aggiuntivo al verbo, oppure donargli un’enfasi
maggiore.
Molti verbi frasali sono idiomatici, il che significa che il loro significato è spesso completamente diverso da
quello indicato dal verbo che li compone, ad es. ‘to pass away’ [lett. “passare via”] significa ‘to die’
[”morire”].
Ciò significa che gli studenti di Inglese dovranno impararne il significato a memoria, proprio come farebbero
con altri idiomi.
Esistono inoltre vari tipi di verbi frasali, che si comportano in maniera differente a seconda che il
complemento oggetto sia un sostantivo o un pronome. Per usare i verbi frasali correttamente, dovrai
conoscerne il significato ed il tipo.
Esistono quattro tipi di verbo frasale.
Tipo 1
Questi verbi non hanno bisogno di un complemento oggetto (sono ‘intransitivi’).
The car broke down. [la macchina si è rotta]
The effects wore off. [gli effetti svanirono]
Tipo 2
Questi verbi frasali hanno bisogno di un complemento oggetto (sono ‘transitivi’). L’oggetto può trovarsi
dopo la preposizione oppure tra il verbo e la preposizione. Tuttavia, quando l’oggetto è un pronome, deve
trovarsi tra il verbo e la preposizione.
I added the bill up. [ho calcolato il conto]
I added up the bill. [ho calcolato il conto]
I added it up. [l’ho calcolato (sott. il conto)]
Tipo 3
Questi verbi hanno bisogno di un complemento oggetto (sono ‘transitivi’), ma l’oggetto deve trovarsi dopo la
preposizione. Lo stesso vale se l’oggetto è un pronome o un sostantivo.
I will look after the cat. [mi prenderò cura del gatto]
I will look after it. [me ne prenderò cura]
Tipo 4
Questi sono verbi di tipo 3, eccetto che hanno due preposizioni, invece di una sola.
He got away with the crime. [l’ha fatta franca per quel crimine]
He got away with it. [l’ha fatta franca]
22

101 Things to Do…
London, 2060
It was a bright, spring morning in the year 2060 and Melanie Jones was making a cup of tea in her kitchen.
She was an attractive woman and, although it was only 7am, she had already done her makeup. Melanie liked
to look her best and she was going to do her nails later that day. She was stirring* her coffee, when her
husband, John Jones, walked into the kitchen.
“Good morning darling,” he said, kissing her on the cheek.
“Good morning, dear,” she replied.
John Jones was a handsome* man, with clear blue eyes and jet black hair. He liked to do a lot of exercise and
did his best to stay healthy. John looked at his wife and thought that she seemed quite nervous. She was
standing by the window and looking at the buildings below.
“Is something wrong dear?” he asked her.
Melanie made towards her husband and sat down next to him.
“Darling, I’m just worried. Do you remember what day it is?” she asked.
John looked puzzled.
“It’s April the 3rd. I know as we have a meeting today with Zord Clize, he’s a representative from the Planet
Zaigon. We’ve been doing business with his government for the last two years,” said John.
John Jones had an extremely well-paid job for Transcene Intergalactic, a company which worked with
species from other planets. The Zaigons had made contact with Earth ten years ago. John’s job was to do the
accounts on any business deals with the Zaigons. His company had made a fortune.
Melanie looked at her husband. She loved him but he was obsessed* with his job!
“Darling, your mother is coming tonight,” she said.
“Oh yes!” exclaimed John, “I had almost forgotten.”
“I think you had forgotten,” said Melanie.
“So what’s the problem?” asked John.
Melanie smiled to herself. Men! He didn’t know what his mother could be like. Andrea Jones was a strong
woman with many opinions. Melanie was a housewife* so Andrea expected the house to be extremely tidy.
The problem was Melanie hated to do housework! She preferred to meet her friends and do lunch in the city.
“The problem is that your mother always criticizes me. She thinks our house should be perfect,” said
Melanie, a little angry.
John could tell that his wife was becoming angry. He didn’t have time for this!
Just at that moment, the video screen on the wall was showing an advert which caught his eye*. It was for a
new robot called a ‘house-bot’, a robot which did all the housework.
“Right darling! Don’t worry,” he said and turned up the volume, “your problems are solved.”
The couple looked at the screen. The house-bot was made of titanium and looked fantastic.
“Would you like one?” asked John.
34
Melanie thought about it.
“Yes I would,” she said.
“Right then,” said John, “it’s done.”
John blinked* once. This meant that he was using his neural* interface to buy the house-bot. A message in
his brain told him that his payment had been accepted. The house-bot would arrive that morning! Feeling
pleased with himself, John kissed Melanie and left for work.
About an hour later, Melanie was making a cake for her mother-in-law. She heard the door buzzer. Melanie
made towards the entrance but before she could open the door, the house-bot walked in.
“Good morning Melanie Jones,” it said in a computerized voice.
“How did you get in?” asked Melanie, “I didn’t open the door for you.”
The house-bot looked at her with its glowing, red eyes.
“When John Jones ordered through his neural interface, we downloaded his access codes,” it said.
Melanie didn’t like that and she decided to make a complaint later. However, the apartment was a mess and
her mother-in-law would be arriving with John at 5pm.
“Right, I’d like you…” Melanie said, before the house-bot interrupted.
“I have assessed your housework needs and I will begin immediately!” said the house-bot.
Melanie had a bad feeling about this, wasn’t she in charge? Or was the house-bot taking control?
“Sit!” it said loudly, and began to work.
First the house-bot tried to do the ironing but it tore the clothes with its sharp hands. Next, it tried to do the
laundry, but it filled the washing machine with cooking oil! The smell was horrendous. After that, Melanie
started to worry. The house-bot seemed to be doing more harm than good. She couldn’t just sit and do
nothing.
“Right… what do I call you?” she asked.
“My designation is C1-11,” it said.
“Right C1-11, you’re making a mess. Let me make a suggestion, why don’t you do the dishes while I make a
call?” she said.
She quickly hurried to her bedroom and made a call on the video phone. Her husband’s face filled the screen.
“Melanie,” he said, “it’s not like you to call me at work.”
“John this house-bot idea is not working. It’s doing damage…John, John…” she said as her husband
disappeared from the screen.
That was strange, videophones always worked. It was technology that the Zaigons had brought to Earth.
Just at that moment, the house-bot entered her bedroom.
“I have terminated the call,” it said, “House-bot Solutions Inc. requires you to try all house-bots for twenty-
four hours. You may not complain!”
“How dare you?” shouted Melanie, “you ended a private call to my husband. I’ve had enough, I’m leaving”
As she went to the front door, she heard the electronic door locking.
“What are you doing?” she screamed.
35
“You must observe my good work. You may not leave,” said the house-bot.
Melanie was helpless. She couldn’t contact her husband and she was a prisoner in her own home. Why hadn’t
she done some research before buying this house-bot?
For the next four hours, Melanie watched helplessly as the house-bot destroyed her home. It tried to do the
vacuuming, but instead it ruined her carpet. Then, it went to the home office and started to do her paperwork
but it shredded* everything!
Finally, she could take it no longer. The crazy machine was about to start cleaning her favourite painting.
Melanie made towards the house-bot and made an attempt to stop it. However, it grabbed* her and tied her to
a chair.
“Let me go, let me go!” she shouted.
Right at that moment, John and his mother Andrea walked in. Melanie saw the look on their faces. They were
looking at the destroyed apartment and the mess the house-bot had made. The carpet was torn, the curtains
were ripped, and water was overflowing from the sink and bath. It was a disaster. Suddenly, they saw
Melanie tied to the chair.
“What on Earth is going on here?” demanded John.
The house-bot turned its metal head and looked at the angry human.
“Clients must observe house-bots while we work. They may not interfere,” it said mechanically.
Right at that moment, Andrea walked over to the house-bot. On the table was a vase* of flowers. Andrea
picked up the flowers and tipped the water onto the house-bot. There was a flash of electricity and the house-
bot stopped moving.
John and Melanie looked at the older lady in amazement. She looked back.
“Your father bought me one of these horrible machines last month. It destroyed our house. Poor Melanie
must have had a bad day,” said Andrea.
“Don’t just stand there doing nothing,” she told her son, “untie your poor wife and I’ll tidy up.”
“Thank you Andrea,” said Melanie, “you saved the day.”
“It’s OK my dear,” she replied, “I don’t know why you bought one of those house-bots. You always do a
good job yourself. You have a beautiful home.”
Melanie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but one thing was certain… she would never complain about
doing the housework again!
