Actually it's "to give a presentation" (if you want to be veeeery correct).

To make a presentation, for me as a native speaker, is the correct one.

However, both could be used with different inferences. To me, "to make a presentation" is when you stand in front of a group of people to give a talk on some topic. On the other hand, "to do a presentation" would be in reference to the actual preparation of the presentation, before you actually make it.

You either give a presentation or make a presentation. Of course, you may hear "do a presentation". But here the point is which combination is more used by native English speakers.

I do it a lot - give presentations, that is - and normally it's referred to as giving a presentation or presenting a paper on [subject].

Give a presentation. example, " I am going to give a presentation."

From the point of view of grammar, " do" implies a mental effort while "make" physical one. So, when preparing your presentation you are "doing it", while standing in front of the audience you are "making it "

Make.

But instead use "I will present".
