The rules
- Use make for creating or building something and do for tasks and activities: We made a model and did our homework.
- Tell is followed by the person you speak to, but say is not: She told me the answer, and she said it was easy.
- Raise and lay need an object, but rise and lie do not: We raise the flag as the sun rises, and I lay the book down before I lie down.
- You borrow something from someone, and you lend something to someone: I borrowed a pen from Sita because she lent it to me.
- Affect is usually a verb and effect is usually a noun: Rain affects the crops, and it has an effect on prices.
- Like comes before the thing compared, and alike comes after the things that are the same: The twins look alike, and Sita looks like her mother.
- Say each idea only once, with one negative, one subject and no extra words: I didn’t see anything, my brother plays, and we return home.
