PLAY: 1.- Los deportes que tienen una pelota. Algunos ejemplos son el tenis y el golf, pues diremos I play tennis y He plays golf. 2.- En deportes competitivos donde juegas contra una o más personas. Por ejemplo, el hockey. Diríamos He is going to play hockey next week. 3.- Los juegos en general, como los videojuegos, los juegos con juguetes o los juegos de mesa. Por ejemplo, el nintendo o el ajedrez. She is playing chess He never plays nintendo

DO: Usaremos do con las actividades que normalmente no se practican en equipo, no son competitivas (o que aunque puedan incluir alguna competiciones ésta no será el centro de la actividad) y que no suelen utilizar una pelota (y en los casos que sí, el uso de la pelota no será central). Ejemplos de deportes con "do": Hacer Karate - Do Karate Hacer Yoga - Do Yoga

GO: Precede a las palabras que acaban en -ing, como fishing o camping. Acompaña a actividades que se suelen hacer en el exterior y a actividades que aunque sean en el interior deben hacerse en un lugar especial. Es decir, la actividad está necesariamente vinculada al lugar en el que se realiza y debes "ir" allí para hacer esa actividad. Ejemplos: Go fishing Go skiing Go snowboarding
