PLAY / DO / GO FOR SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES

We use PLAY with ball sports – sports that you play with a ball -- and competitive games where we
play against another person.

Look at this example.

Maria: ‘Hi Peter, what are you doing?’

Peter: ‘Hi Maria. I am playing football with my friends.’ (in football we use a ball)

Maria: ‘Ok, my brother is playing poker.’ (poker is a competitive game – we play to win)

We use GO with activities that end in ‘ – ing ‘. We go somewhere to do something.

Look at this example.

Maria: ‘Hey Peter, where are you going?’

Peter: ‘Hello Maria. I am going running with my brother. Do you want to come?’

We use DO with other free-time activities and a non-team sport that does not use a ball.

Look at this example.

Maria: ‘Peter, what are you doing in the gym?’

Peter: ‘Maria, today I am doing aerobics.’ (aerobics is a non-team activity)

Maria: ‘That’s great. I am doing some Sodoku.’ (Sodoku puzzles are free-time activities)
