do homework

Listen

Meaning

To finish the work that a teacher gives you to do at home.

Examples

  1. I do my homework after dinner.
  2. Have you done your homework?
  3. He does his homework at the library.

How to use it

The verb is do, not make: do homework, do the housework, do an exercise. Homework has no plural form, so do not say homeworks.

Common mistake

Not: I make my homework in the evening.
Say: I do my homework in the evening. (Use do with homework.)
