did a presentation = 'gave a presentation' OR 'made a presentation' ?
Thank you.

We'll wait for a native speaker's reply, of course, but I bet it's the former, because 'do' refers to an activity while 'make' refers to creation.

Thank you, Ooneykcall for the quick reaction.
I have read a forum on this topic, so I am a little bit confused but I also prefer the former one as well as you do. However the other two translations in Portuguese and Turkish prefer the latter interpretation.

So native speakers' help is welcome.

Yes, "did a presentation" = "gave a presentation".

"Making a presentation" referring both to giving it and creating it is quire confuzzling. English is so nice. xD
