Bonjour

Many idiomatics French phrases use the verb FAIRE.

In English, it woul be more often "to go", "to be", a verb, than  "to do"

But in French, eventhough we have verbs for the same meaning, we  very often use "faire"

Faire le ménage = to do the housecleaning

Faire du foot  = to play football (<em>jouer au foot)</em>

Faire du vélo = to ride a bike

Faire la cuisine = to cook <em>(cuisiner.. the meaning is a little bit different . Faire la cuisine = you're cooking at home for lunch, dinner, as usaul.. cuisiner is going to be more special ..</em>

Faire mal à quelqu'un= to hurt somebody

Faire une promenade = to go for a walk <em>(se promener)</em>

Faire un voyage = to go on a trip <em>(voyager)</em>

Faire peur = to scare

Faire à manger = to do the cooking

Faire jour = to be daytime

Faire attention = to be careful

Faire la fête = to party

Faire la tête = to be in a bad mood

Faire des économies = to save money <em>(économiser)</em>

<em />

In fact, as you see, I wrote some verbs italicized meaning the same, but we won't use those verbs in an every day conversation.....

I tried to explain, but it's not that easy  ...!!!

hope it helps somehow ☺☺☺
