ENGLISH VOCABULARY – Using PLAY, GO, DO for sports

But I can use play with golf, am I right? since it’s a game and games are played…

cabroso

Yes, you can say “I play golf!”

ronnie

When talking about sports/games -or any other topic- is important to know which word goes or collocates with which word. This will help us use the language properly.

IT’s much easier for me to learn vocabulary in context as it makes the learning of vocabulary more interesting and meaningful.

Thanks for this superb video-lesson Ronnie.

Regino

why? play golf. go golfing

Excellent class. Which verb do you use with car racing?

elitsam

If you are the driver, we say I race cars. If you are watching you would say I watch the race!

Ronnie

it’s very uncomfortable to say ” i go snowboard” or “i do aerobics ” ./// can i say .. i am doing aerobics or am doing yoga …am in yoga class , i am going to do snowboard , i am going to do swimming ,(“i go swimming “- it looks strange “)

parul bansal

I go snowboardING is in simple present form…. (used for talking about routine)
I am doing aerobics is used in present continuous…. (we use for what we are doing NOW)
I am going to GO swimming or I am going to GO snowboardING is future tense….(we use when we talk about future plans)

Ronnie

hello Ronnie,
Is it wrong to use “i play golf” despite “I go golfing”.

thanks for your support…bye
keep rocking.

rahul

fantastic…thanks a lot….

hajem

Ronnie

klingkling

Can I say “I go weightlifitng”? It sounds strange. Is “do weightlifting” ok? Thank you.

rendi

Yes, do + weightlifting is correct. But we say “I lift weights.”

Ronnie

What about boxing? It ends in ing but you use DO is this just an exception or is there a reason. Also, what about badminton you don’t use a ball but you do say PLAY?

George

If you do it at a gym, we say DO. So do boxing is ok. Or you can say I box.
Badminton we play.

albandar alareimi

Thank you, Ronnie, for this lesson. I think we can say ” play golf”, because golf is a ball game or ball sport, and I feel it make it make sense. And for all games, we we use “do”. like chess or card or games alike, we can say “let’s play another round” or “let’s do another round”. I feel it make sense. What do you think?

hi miss ronnie.. thanks for the great lesson..umm.. i have one question..why we use ‘s’ for “i race cars”? what meaning of that ‘s’in sentence? last time you told me to use ‘s’ for he,she,it. like ‘he races car’or ‘he likes car’. is that ok to use ‘s’ for ‘he races cars’? i confused bout how to use ‘s’in right place for sentence (-_-“).. can u give me solution bout that? thanks a lot miss

hi miss ronnie.. thanks for the great lesson..umm.. i have one question..why we use ‘s’ for “i race cars”? what meaning of that ‘s’in sentence? last time you told me to use ‘s’ for he,she,it. like ‘he races car’or ‘he likes car’. is that ok to use ‘s’ for ‘he races cars’? i confused bout how to use ‘s’in right place for sentence (-_-”).. can u give me solution bout that? thanks a lot miss
ronnie..GOD bless u

chenchen92

“He races cars” is correct!
We have to use the “s” on “I race cars”, because there is more than one car in a race — so cars must be plural! You cannot have a race with 1 car — you need at least two!

Ronnie

oh,sorry miss.. thats not a one question.. but some questions..

chenchen92

Thanks Ronnie.
I confused many times its but I understand cleary.
Thanks a lot.

Hai Madame Ronnie!

I would ask you how we can say’ i play the Facebook’ or ‘i play Facebook’. As i was saying Facebook is a game. So, we use the verb ‘play’. Is it correct?

The second question is how about computer? Is it correct the sentence’ i play the computer’ ( because computer is a instrument )? Can i also say’ i’m using the computer now’? If no, why?

Thanks a lot Ronnie. I hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Ronnie
I just started learning English on the Internet recently. Typically,I rarely have the opportunity to communicate in English with others. Because I usually use the language of my country. I like English and like to talk English with other people In countries around the world. But my problem is that my English is not good.
Today I had found you and your site. ‘www.engvid.com’ I know that my dream is coming true.

Thank you so much

cody
