#Collocations
🔘Sports
▪️The first important collocation involving sports is when to use the verbs play, do, and go.
🔸 We typically use play for team sports – you play soccer, play basketball, play tennis, play baseball, and play golf.
🔸The verb do is used for more individual sports – you do yoga, do gymnastics, do martial arts, and do aerobics. Also, in more general terms, you do exercise. Another common individual exercise is to lift weights.
🔸The verb go is used with most activities that end in –ing: you go swimming, go biking, go surfing, go rock climbing, go bowling, and go fishing.
🔸With the team sports, we can use the word game or match: a soccer game, a basketball game, a tennis
match, etc.
🔸 You can win the game, lose the game, or tie the game – that’s when the final score is 1-1 or 2-2, for example.
🔸A team can play a home game – when they play in their own stadium or field – or an away game – when they play at the opposing team’s stadium or field. When there are many teams that are playing many games to see which one is the best, we call this a tournament.
🔸When one team is winning in the middle of the game – for example, 3-1 – we say that team has the lead. However, the other team can make a comeback – score points from a losing position – and take the lead, 4-3.
🔸With the sports that use “do” and “go,” we typically use the word competition – a
gymnastics competition, a martial arts competition, a surfing competition, an ice skating competition, etc.
🔸The exception is sports where you go from one place to another – like running, biking, and swimming – in that case, we often call the event a race.
🔸Athletes can enter a competition and try to win first place. Some athletes try to enhance their performance with illegal substances such as steroids. But if they fail a drug test, they’ll be disqualified
from participating.
🔸If the athlete is performing well, they may achieve a personal best – and if they perform better than ANYONE ever has in the past, then they could even break the world record or set a new world record. If they get injured, however, they might have to withdraw from the competition (voluntarily leave the competition) .
