Common mistake for Spanish-speakers learning English; sometimes they mix up does and makes because they are both "hacer" en español.
You "make" mistakes, not do them.

Other languages do the same thing, French - faire, German - machen can both be translated as to do or to make!

Both make-do and work-job are difficult to learn for Spanish speakers. I think that it's the same with ser-estar for English speakers. I always mix them up.

Sí, por la gente quien está estudiando el español 'para/por' es muy difícil, porque en inglés tenemos un único significado 'for' Tambien, pienso que 'por' tiene más que 274739 significados me parece jeje

Pero finalmente creo que estoy empezando ententerlo
