Here's a breakdown:
1. Present Simple Tense:
* Singular Subject: Use "makes" if the subject is singular (e.g., she, he, it, the cat).
* Example: Does she make her own coffee?
* Plural Subject: Use "make" if the subject is plural (e.g., they, we, the students).
* Example: Do they make their own lunch?
2. Past Simple Tense:
* All Subjects: Use "made" regardless of whether the subject is singular or plural.
* Example: Did she make a cake?
* Example: Did they make a mess?
Examples:
* Does the bakery make delicious bread? (Present Simple, singular subject)
* Do you make your own jam? (Present Simple, plural subject)
* Did they make a decision? (Past Simple, plural subject)
* Did he make a mistake? (Past Simple, singular subject)
Remember that the helping verb ("do" or "did") is used to form questions in the present and past simple tenses.
