January 5, 2010 at 9:19 AM“做”跟“作”这两个词的确比较搞，有时候两个都可以，有时候只能用其中的一个。有时候连中国人都不确定用哪个。
通常我们是这样记的，
“做”一般是动词，比如：做饭、做事、做生意、做朋友
“作”多出现在名词中，比如：作业、作文、作品、作用
“作”当动词用的时候，一般都可以写成“做”。所以“做”用的更多。
“做替补”和“作替补”都可以。

chǎogǔ fēngxiǎn hěn dà.
zhège shǒushù yǒu fēngxiǎn.
These two sentences are correct.
"fēngxiǎn" is a noun.
You can use, "fēngxiǎn+adj. " or "yǒu/méiyǒu+fēngxiǎn".

December 30, 2009 at 9:36 AMtarsi is right.
When using 回到huídào, the structure is 回到+地方(huídào+ dìfang). It can not be split to 回 + 地方 + 到 (huí + dìfang + dào).
But when using 回来huílái or 回去huíqù, it should be split to 回+地方+来(huí+dìfang+lái), or 回+地方+去(huí+dìfang+qù).

你的理解是对的。
如果你要买房子，可以向银行申请"住房贷款"。
如果你要做生意、买车等等，可以向银行申请"抵押贷款"。但是你必须有"抵押品"作为保证，比如你的房子，股票等东西。
