“commit suicide, commit grand larceny, commit adultery. Thus, commit does not mean just “do or make” but “do or make something negative.” An ESL student who learns that commit in commit a murder means “to do or perform an action” might attempt to make the following seemingly logical combinations: commit a joke on someone, commit the housework, commit a lie. The problem—a huge problem for nonnative learners—is that commit does not collocate with joke, housework, or lie.”
