Your free time

There are three verbs that collocate with sports and other free time activities: go, doand 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.
