Abstract :It is often argued that high-frequency verbs are challenging for learners, especially when combined with other words. The present study aims to reveal the use of high-frequency verbs “make” and “do” when they occur in a verb+noun combination in the argumentative essays of Turkish learners of English. In this context, the present study investigated the deviant productions in the learner corpus. The investigation utilized a compilation of essays collected from first-year students studying at an ELT department of a state university in Turkey. Deviant productions were analyzed in three parts: error spots, error types and strategies. The findings of the study showed that learners have some problems with make and do verb+noun combinations. Based on the outcomes of the current study and previous studies, the present study shared theoretical and practical implications, particularly for language teaching settings.
