Grammar fix
make a decision
decide
to choose what to do after thinking about different options
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
I need more time to make a decision about which job offer to accept.
In my opinion, it’s important to gather enough information before you make a decision, especially when it comes to your career.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I have to take a decision by Friday.
Say: I have to make a decision by Friday.
In most English, you MAKE a decision. ('Take a decision' exists in formal British/EU usage but 'make' is safest.)
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Make a decision' is the standard collocation; 'arrive at a decision' is fine but formal, and 'do a decision' is wrong.
