FREE TIME ACTIVIES

Collocations: do, play or go with sports and other activities

In British English, you can "do sport". In American English you can "play sports".
A typical mistake Spanish speakers make is using the verb practise for sports:
*I love practising sport. This should be: I love sport.
*I usually practise sport every evening. This should be: I usually do sport every evening.

However, in American English you can use the verb practise or practice (as it is spelt

there) to mean "to train": The team is practicing for tomorrow's competition.

When other words related to sports are used, we may use other verbs:
"What sports do you do?" "I play tennis".

There are three verbs that collocate with sports and other free time activities: go, do
and play, but they are not interchangeable:

 Go is used with activities and sports that end in -ing. The verb  go here implies that
we go somewhere to practice this sport: go swimming.

 Do is used with recreational activities and with individual, non-team sports or sports
in which a ball is not used, like martial arts, for example: do a crossword puzzle, do athletics,
do karate.

 Play is generally used with team sports and those sports that need a ball or similar
object (puck, disc, shuttlecock...). Also, those activities in which two people or teams
compete against each other: play football, play poker, play chess.

In this table there is a list of sports and activities that collocate with these verbs:

Go Do Play
riding aerobics badminton
jogging gymnastics table-tennis
hitch-hiking taekwondo football
fishing judo basketball
sailing karate chess
windsurfing kung-fu cricket
skiing ballet board games
snowboarding exercise snooker
swimming yoga hockey
dancing athletics baseball
skating archery rugby
cycling a crossword puzzle volleyball

Some exceptions to the rules:

  You use do with three activities that end in -ing: do boxing, do body-
building and do weight-lifting because they don't imply moving along as the other
activities ending in -ing.

 Golf: if there is an idea of competition, you use the verb play. However, you can
say go golfing if you do it for pleasure: Tiger Woods plays golf. We'll go golfing at the
weekend. 

COGNITIVE ACTIVITIES

Underline the free time activities in the following e-mail.

Hello Kevin,

How are you? I am quite fine.

Our English teacher has just asked us to fill in a survey about our leisure time activities. Now I
would like to tell you about my favorite activities.

Every week I go to a fitness club twice. It is great fun for me to go there because I like the
contact with the people and it is very good for my health. In the evening I like to surf on the
Internet and I occasionally download music and movies. I know that it is illegal but there are
many people doing this. At the weekend I often go clubbing with my friends. That is my
favorite activity. So I can switch off from daily work.

Every year I go with my family to Mallorca or Ibiza. We like package holidays so this way we
are relieved from any duties. We usually book an all-inclusive vacation package. My mother
hates it if she must buy food on our holidays. She says: “If I am on holidays I want to relax and
enjoy the stress-free time.

In summer I frequently go swimming in a public swimming pool during the day. And I like to
sunbathe there. In the evening I go to the river Rhine with my friends and we relax with a beer
there. The positive side of this is that we can save a lot of money, because we don’t have to pay
a ticket for a club.

I prefer individual sports, because I can practice them alone whenever I feel like doing so. I
hate it when I have to go to the training every week at the same time. If I have an exam at
school, I can feel independent and say: “Ok, I’ll skip this evening’s training, I’ll go there next
week.” Do you see this problem in a similar way?
What about you? How is it going / How are you doing? Are you having a heatwave now? I am
looking forward to hearing from you soon

Jack

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

FORM

[am/is/are + present participle]

Examples:

 You are watching TV.
 Are you watching TV?
 You are not watching TV.

Complete List of Present Continuous Forms

USE 1 Now

Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is
happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not
happening now.

Examples:
  You are learning English now.
 You are not swimming now.
 Are you sleeping?
 I am sitting.
 I am not standing.
 Is he sitting or standing?
 They are reading their books.
 They are not watching television.
 What are you doing?
 Why aren't you doing your homework?

USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now

In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so
on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a
longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.

Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.)

 I am studying to become a doctor.

 I am not studying to become a dentist.
 I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.
 I am not reading any books right now.
 Are you working on any special projects at work?
 Aren't you teaching at the university now?

USE 3 Near Future

Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not
happen in the near future.
Examples:

 I am meeting some friends after work.

 I am not going to the party tonight.
 Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
 Isn't he coming with us tonight?

USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with "Always"

The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea
that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like Simple
Present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly"
between "be" and "verb+ing."

Examples:

 She is always coming to class late.

 He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up.
 I don't like them because they are always complaining.

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Frequenc
Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence
y

100% always I always go to bed before 11pm.

90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.

80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.

70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.

50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.

30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.

10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.

5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.

0% never I never swim in the sea.

English Grammar Rules

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my
homework.

He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb

They are never pleased to see
me.

She isn't usually bad tempered.

When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb
is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main
verb

She can sometimes beat me in a race.

I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.

They might never see each other again.

They could occasionally be heard laughing.

We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence:

Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally

 Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence: Always, seldom, rarely,
hardly, ever, never.

We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:

 She hardly ever comes to my parties.

 They never say 'thank you'.

We use ever in questions and negative statements:

  Have you ever been to New Zealand?
 I haven't ever been to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been Switzerland').

We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific about the
frequency: - every day - once a month - twice a year - four times a day - every other week

COGNITIVE ACTIVITIES

a) Read and underline the adverbs of frequency.

 You are usually careful.

 You never work hard.
 You don't often worry about things.
 You have always a lot of energy.

b) Complete the rules with these words: between, before, after

We put adverbs of frequency:

 ________ the verb to be.

 ________ a normal verb.
 ________ an auxiliary verb (don't, can, have, etc) and the main verb.

ADJECTIVES

What is an adjective?
Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking
much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are
descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives. Because adjectives are used to identify or
quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before
the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.

Adjectives describe nouns by giving some information about an object’s size, shape, age, color,
origin or material.
 It’s a big table. (size)
 It’s a round table. (shape)
 It’s an old table. (age)
 It’s a brown table. (color)
 It’s an English table. (origin)
 It’s a wooden table. (material)
 It’s a lovely table. (opinion)
 It’s a broken table. (observation)
 It’s a coffee table. (purpose)
When an item is defined by its purpose, that word is usually not an adjective, but it acts as one in
that situation.
 coffee table
 pool hall
 hunting cabin
 baseball player

What Do Adjectives Look Like?

English can be very tricky, so you have to be careful, but a lot of English adjectives end with these
suffixes:
 -able/-ible – adorable, invisible, responsible, uncomfortable
 -al – educational, gradual, illegal, nocturnal, viral
 -an – American, Mexican, urban
 -ar – cellular, popular, spectacular, vulgar
 -ent – intelligent, potent, silent, violent
 -ful – harmful, powerful, tasteful, thoughtful
 -ic/-ical – athletic, energetic, magical, scientific
 -ine – bovine, canine, equine, feminine, masculine
 -ile – agile, docile, fertile, virile
 -ive – informative, native, talkative
 -less – careless, endless, homeless, timeless
 -ous – cautious, dangerous, enormous, malodorous
 -some – awesome, handsome, lonesome, wholesome

Where Do Adjectives Go in a Sentence?

 The grassy field was wet with dew. – “Grassy” comes between an article (the) and a noun
(field), so you know it’s an adjective.
 These are my old trophies. – “Old” comes between a possessive adjective (my) and a noun
(trophies), making it an adjective.
 We had a few ordinary days. – “Ordinary” comes between an amount (a few) and a noun
(days), so it’s definitely an adjective.
 Did you see that immaculate kitchen? – “Immaculate” comes between a demonstrative
(that) and a noun (kitchen), so it must be an adjective.

Adjectives also act as complements. Complements are words that complete the predicate of a
sentence when the verb is “be.”
 He is tall.
 We’ve been teachers for five years.
 You were my best friend.
 He was smart, handsome and rich.

What’s the Correct Order for Multiple Adjectives?

When you list several adjectives in a row, there’s a specific order they need to be written or
spoken. Native speakers of English tend to put them in the correct order naturally, but if you’re
learning English, you’ll have to memorize the order. It goes like this:
 Determiner – This means an article (a, an, the), a number or amount, a possessive
adjective (my, his, her, its, your, our, their), or a demonstrative (this, that, these, those).
 Observation/Opinion – Beautiful, expensive, gorgeous, broken, delicious, ugly
 Size – Huge, tiny, 4-foot-tall
 Shape – Square, circular, oblong
 Age – 10-year-old, new, antique
 Color – Black, red, blue-green
 Origin – Roman, English, Mongolian
 Material – Silk, silver, plastic, wooden
 Qualifier – A noun or verb acting as adjective

This is the correct order for adjectives that come directly before a noun, and they are separated
by commas.
 My beautiful, big, circular, antique, brown, English, wooden coffee table was broken in the
move.
If the adjectives come after the verb “be” as the complement, then the qualifier will stick with the
noun at the beginning of the sentence. The adjectives in the complement are separated by
commas with the final two being separated by “and.” For example,My coffee table is beautiful, big,
circular, antique, brown, English and wooden.

It was a day. The alarm rang. I got up, had a shower and got dressed. I
put on a skirt and a shirt. I drank some juice in a cup and ate a piece of
toast. I hurried out the door to go to school. I ran to my class because I
was late. There were students in my class. I sat next to one. I wrote in
my notebook and on the board. I looked at my books, pens, and pencils.
Later, I got paper and paint from the cupboard to make a project. The
teacher gave us homework. After school, I walked home. I went into my house to do my
homework. I finished in two hours. I played with the kids until dinner.
