The 'Did' and 'Made' Verb
In Spanish, one verb, 'hacer', covers both 'to do' and 'to make'. 'Hizo' is how you say 'he/she/it did' or 'he/she/it made' for a completed action in the past.
Spelling: 'z' vs. 'c'
Mistake: “Él hico la tarea.”
Correction: Él **hizo** la tarea. To keep the soft 's' sound, the letter 'c' changes to a 'z' in this specific form. It's a spelling change you just have to remember.
