'How often do you play tennis?' - tennis is a ball sport.

'I play poker with my friends on Friday night.' - poker is a competitive game. We play to win.

'I don't like playing computer games.' - again, computer games are competitive so we use play.

do

Do is used for a recreational activity or a non-team sport that does not use a ball:

'I heard that you do karate.' - karate is a non-team activity.

'I do crossword puzzles in my free time.' - crossword puzzles are not competitive.

go

Go is used with activities that end -ing. We go somewhere to do something:

In English, we use three different verbs to talk about sports:

play ~ do ~ go 

1) Use PLAY for team sports, ball sports, or sports where there is a winner

and a loser:

football

baseball

basketball

rugby

tennis

hockey

volleyball

cricket

soccer

badminton

golf

I love to play badminton.

I played basketball when I was in high school.

In my spare time, I play soccer with my friends.

Do you play any sports?

When I was a kid, I loved playing baseball with my family.

 

2) Use GO for sports that end in –ing (gerunds):

skiing

swimming

climbing

diving

fishing

running

jogging

skating / figure skating

I love to go jogging in the morning before I go to work.

My grandfather and I go fishing every time I visit him.

Every winter, my family and I go skiing in the Rockies.

What are you doing this weekend? Let’s go swimming! 

*NOTE: There is NO to between go and the activity. You do NOT ‘go to

swimming.’ You just ‘go swimming.’

The sports that end in –ing are all in gerund form. They can also be used in

their verb form:

ski

swim

climb

dive / scuba dive

fish

run

jog

skate / figure skate

Do you scuba dive? Yes! I love scuba diving.

My daughter used to take swimming lessons, but now she does gymnastics.

Do you do any sports?

Make is not used in English to talk about sports.

Practice is rarely used to talk about sports. It is only used to talk about

professional athletes who need to practice their skills before a game or an

important event. The average person does not practice a sport.

SportsEnglish Vocabulary

We use either the verb to play, to do or to go to refer to sports.

E.g. He plays football. She does gymnastics. We gosnowboarding every winter.

Play + Sport

We use to play for the following sports:

Football - This name refers to different sports, depending on which country you are in. In the USA,(American) football is a very strategic game that is played with an oval-shaped ball. It is called gridiron in other parts of the world. In Australia, football refers to Australian Rules Football, which is a very fast paced game that is also played with an oval-shaped ball and the players use both their hands and their feet. In New Zealand, football may refer to the game ofrugby, which involves an oval-shaped ball and fifteen players on each team. In the rest of the world,football usually refers to what we call soccer in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

Netball - is a fast and skillful game that is played on a court that is divided into sections. It is played with a round ball that is approximately the same size as a soccer ball. The aim is to get as many goals as possible by 'shooting' the ball through the ring. A netball ring is similar to a basketball ring, but it does not have a backboard.

Cricket - is played on a grass oval with a pitch in the centre. It is played with a small, hard ball, a wooden bat and wickets. The aim is to get more 'runs' that the other team. The game is divided into 'innings'. In the first innings, one team bats and the other team bowls, and then they change sides for the next innings. The batting team has two batsmen on the field and as they go 'out', other batsmen from their team take their place. The fielding team team has a bowler, a wicket-keeper and fieldsman who try to prevent the batsmen from making runs and who try to get the batsmen out. Cricket is the national sport of Australia and is the most popular sport during the summer. One of the most famous Australians - Sir Donald Bradman - was a cricketer and regarded as the best cricketer ever. They are the current world champions in both test match cricket (five day match) and one-day cricket. Cricket is very popular in other Commonwealth countries like England, South Africa, India and New Zealand.

Baseball - is played on a 'diamond' with four bases - first, second, third and home. It is played with a rounded bat and a small, hard ball. The fielding team wear a special padded glove with which to catch the ball. The aim is to get as many home runs as possible by running around the diamond without getting 'out'. 

Basketball - is a very dynamic game where the players are often very tall and can jump very high! They use a round, bouncy ball and the aim is to get as many points as possible by putting the ball through the ring. You get a different number of points depending on how you get the ball through the ring.

Do + Sport

We use to do for the following sports:

Gymnastics - requires enormous strength and flexibility. Gymnasts may perform exercises or routines of exercises on a slightly padded floor or on many other pieces of equipment, such as the vault, beam, high bar, uneven bars, parallel bars, rings and pommel horse.

Martial arts - There are many martial art forms that you can learn, such as Karate, Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Judo, Kendo, Capoeira, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, Aikido and many others. Martial arts usually have a very long and rich history and some

also have spiritual or religious significance. They require a lot of discipline and practice to master them.

GO + Sport

We use to go for the following sports:

Swimming - There are many different swimming strokes that you can use to move your body through the water - freestyle (also called the front crawl), dolphin crawl, breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, sidestroke and dog-paddle. When you swim, you can wear bathers (also called a swimsuit, swimmers or togs) or you can wear a wetsuit if you are going surfing or scuba-diving. You can also use equipment to swim, such as fins (also called flippers), a snorkel or an oxygen tank if you are going to stay underwater for a long time.

Snowboarding and snow-skiing - Many people love winter because they can go snowboarding and skiing at the snow. In these sports, people attach skis or a snowboard to their feet and glide across the surface of the snow.  There are many different types of skiing, including downhill skiing and cross-country skiing. Both skiers and snowboarders can also learn freestyle skiing or snowboarding, where they use jumps to perform acrobatic-style tricks.

Hang-gliding - This sport is for people who wish they could fly! In hang-gliding, people hold onto and 'hang' from a set of manmade wings. The hang-glider then runs along the ground and jumps off the edge of a cliff and the wings, like a kite, fly on the wind and carry the person along in the air. Without a motor, the glider cannot stay in the air for very long, but he or she can keep the hang-glider flying for as long as possible before directing it safely to the ground. 

Skydiving and parachuting - Many people love the excitement of jumping out of a plane and either free-falling for a time before opening their parachute (skydiving) or opening their parachute immediately after jumping so that they float more leisurely to the ground (parachuting). These sports are usually done in the open country where there is a lot of space for people to land safely.

Horse-riding - You can ride a horse through countryside or along the beach to enjoy the scenery. You can ride your horse at a walk, trot, canter or gallop. You can enter dressage and show-jumping competitions where you display your horse-riding skills. The style of riding at these events is very disciplined and requires a lot of skilled communication with the horse.

Note:  it is also possible to say I go to football/basketball/rugby when it means that I walk or

¿Qué es el deporte?

Se llama deporte a todas las formas de actividad física que, a través de participación casual u organizada,

intentan utilizar, mantener o mejorar la aptitud física mediante el entretenimiento de sus participantes.

Algunos deportes pueden ser competitivos, en donde un ganador o ganadores pueden ser identificados por

medios objetivos, y hasta puede llegar a requerir cierto grado de habilidades. Existen centenares de

deportes, incluyendo aquellos para sólo un participante. Algunas actividades no-físicas, como los juegos de

mesa y de cartas, son llamadas a veces deportes, pero el deporte en general es reconocido por su relación

con lo atlético.

¿Cómo digo en inglés que estoy realizando un deporte?

Pues, usualmente en inglés se utilizan divisiones al momento de hablar de una actividad recreativa. Es así

como utilizamos sujeto + verbo + deporte cuando realizamos una oración de este tipo. La división

ocurre en el verbo: utilizamos play y sus variaciones cuando nos estamos refiriendo a un juego, do y sus

variaciones cuando queremos hablar de actividades específicas, y go (con sus variaciones) al momento de

referirnos a una actividad constante o rutinaria. Por ejemplo: I play rugby. / Laura’s playing soccer. [Traducción: Yo juego al rugby. / Laura está jugando

al fútbol.]

My mom does yoga. / I’m doing aerobics right now! [Traducción: Mi madre hace yoga. / Estoy haciendo aeróbicos ahora mismo!]

I usually go fishing on the weekends. / She jogs every morning.[Traducción: Usualmente voy de pesca los fines de semana. / Ella trota todas las mañanas.]

¿ Hay una lista determinada de deportes en inglés?

Como respondí en la primera pregunta, hay centenares de deportes diferentes en este planeta y, a menos

que nos pongamos a investigar cada uno de ellos, conocemos sólo unos pocos. Además, muchos de los

nombres de estos deportes no difieren del español.  A continuación hay una lista de los deportes más

comunes que podrás encontrar mencionados en libros, películas y artículos en internet. Si tienes duda

acerca de cómo se dice un deporte que no esté mencionado en esta lista, puedes dejarme tu pregunta en

¿Y si quiero comprar entradas para un evento deportivo?

A veces es bastante complicado reservar entradas para cualquier evento, y aún más si el inglés es tu

segundo idioma, así que a continuación dejo una serie de preguntas y frases que te ayudarán a realizar tu

compra de forma exitosa. “Hello? I would like to buy tickets for (Any)day’s (Sport) game/ match”.[Traducción:

“¿Hola? Querría comprar boletos para el partido/ juego del (cualquier día).”] “I’d like (Number) tickets, if possible.” [Traducción: “Querría (número) boletos, si es

posible.”] “Are there any front row/ VIP seats?” [Traducción: “¿Quedan aún asientos en primera fila

o la zona VIP?”] “How much do these tickets cost?” [Traducción: “¿Cuánto salen estas entradas?”] “Ok then. I would like to reserve these tickets. Do I have to retire them at the booth

the same day of the game/ match?” [Traducción: “Ok entonces. Querría reservar  estas entradas. ¿Tengo que retirarlas por la boletería el mismo día del partido/ juego?”]

¿Y si quiero preguntar diferentes cosas acerca de un deporte en particular?

Es verdad que uno frecuentemente tiene dudas acerca de la actividad que está siendo televisada o vista en

vivo y, antes de pasar toda la velada en completa confusión, lo mejor es preguntar y aclarar todas las dudas

posibles. Algunas preguntas que puedes hacer en inglés para pedir información son: “What’s this sport?” [Traducción: “¿Qué deporte es éste?”] “Who’s playing?” [Traducción: “¿Quién está jugando?”] “Is this the team you’re rooting for?” [Traducción: “¿Es éste el equipo del que eres

fanático?”] “Who’s winning the game/ match?” [Traducción: “¿Quién está ganando el juego/ partido?”] “What’s the score?” [Traducción: “¿Cómo va el puntaje?”] “Who’s that player?” [Traducción: “¿Quién es ese jugador?”] “How much time is left?” [Traducción: “¿Cuánto tiempo falta?”]

“When does the second half start?” [Traducción: “¿Cuándo comienza la segunda mitad?”] “Are we in the second (first) half?” [Traducción: “¿Estamos en la segunda (o primera)

mitad?”] “Do you think they will make it to the finals?” [Traducción: “¿Crees que llegarán a la

final?”] “This team’s getting a promotion this year?” [Traducción: “¿Este equipo será promovido

este año?”]

Sports – play, do or go?on 28/11/2011 · Leave a Comment

 When do we use Play; Do or Go with sports?

In the English language we can use the verbs: play do go

with different types of sports or leisure activities.

Which verbs goes with which sport?

“Play” a sport

     We “play” team sports: I play football on Saturdays John plays rugby Helen plays basketball Monica plays hockey

      But we also “play” other sports where we need an opponent:

Fred plays tennis. Harry plays badminton. Sandra plays golf. Henry has been playing snooker since he was a young boy.

     and it’s used for board games and other games: We always play poker on Friday nights. My children love playing Trivial Pusuits. I sometimes play Scrabble with my students. Max plays chess every week.

Note:  it is also possible to say I go to football/basketball/rugby when it means that I walk or

drive etc to the place where I play football/basketball/rugby“Go” + sport     We use “go” with a sport when the name of the sport is a verb in the gerund form.

I go jogging every morning. Mary goes swimming after work. If the weather is good I go climbing with Gerry once a month. Gerry and Diana went fishing at the weekend.

Fred likes going sailing.Note:     When you are actively doing the sport you can say:

John is sailing at the moment. I am jogging. I am riding a horse.

 ”Do”  sports

     We “do” sports that are: not team games are Martial Arts are leisure activities

     Examples: Monica does karate. Dan does judo. Gillian does aerobics. Gary and Alice do athletics. I did gymnastics when I was younger.

     Note:     You can ask       “What sports or free time activities do you do?”     People can answer     

” I do football on Thursdays” “I do swimming” etc etc

     in this sense they see football and swimming (or any other sport/activity) as activities, so it’s OK to use “do”.
