Account/do or make
Hi,
1) I had to set up an 'Accumulated depreciation' account and then an 'Adjusting Entries' account. When you create T-accounts in accounting, do you use the indefinite or definite article? I'd probably stick to the indefintie article.
2) Do you say 'make' or 'do' repairs. It's a silly question, but native speakers don't seem to be able to agree on it.
Thank you.

You can use either word but, the first one seems very formal. It is familiar from nautical stories and films when sea captains stop their vessels on some shore to "make repairs".
You can just use repair as a verb.
