DO-PLAY-GO

Dear students!

This is a little summary from the lesson after the lab session:

When talking about sporting activities, Do, Play, and Go are the verbs you need to take into account. Here is how you have to use them:

- PLAY: Use this verb when speaking about any type of competitive game (play a game or sport against someone or some other team). For example: "Mike likes to play chess with his father".
- DO: With sport types that involve a number of related activities, or events within that one sporting type. For example: "My daughter enjoys doing exercises at the gym".
- GO: For those of us who enjoy doing activities alone, 'go' is the verb to use (physical activity that isn't a game or a group of activities or exercises). For example: "I love to go hiking in the summer".

Watch the video below to reinforce this teaching point.
