The French verb faire means to do or to make.
Here's how to say I do/make - I'm doing/making and you do/make - you're doing/making in French:
Note that the vous form (faites) is different to the je and tu forms (fais).
Remember that in French, to say you, you will use either:
- tu to address one person you know well, i.e. informal and singular
- vous to address one person in a professional context, or that you don't know well, i.e. formal and singular
See Tu and vous are used for three types of you

Faire
"Je fais un spectale" is "I'm doing a show". So, what's "I'm creating a show" in French?

Bonjour Joakim !
To say "I'm creating a show" in the sense of I'm organising it to be played etc, you can use the phrase monter un spectacle: "Je monte un spectacle avec une troupe d'acteurs exceptionnels."
À bientôt !
