We typically use play for game or team sports – you play soccer, play basketball, play tennis, play chess, 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 ver 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). __________________________________________ ✓ play soccer: futbol oynamak ✓ play basketball: basketbol oynamak ✓ play tennis: tenis oynamak ✓ play chess: satranç oynamak ✓ play baseball: beyzbol oynamak ✓ play golf: golf oynamak ------------------------- ✓ do yoga: yoga yapmak ✓ do gymnastics: jimnastik yapmak ✓ do martial arts: dövüş sanatları yapmak ✓ do aerobics: aerobik yapmak ✓ do exercise: egzersiz yapmak ✓ go swimming: yüzmeye gitmek ✓ go biking: bisiklet binmek ✓ go surfing: sörf yapmak ✓ go rock climbing: kaya tırmanışı yapmak ✓ go bowling: bowling oynamaya gitmek ✓ go fishing: balık tutmaya gitmek ------------------------- ✓ soccer game: futbol maçı ✓ basketball game: basketbol maçı ✓ tennis match: tenis maçı ✓ win the game: oyunu kazanmak ✓ lose the game: oyunu kaybetmek ✓ tie the game: berabere kalmak ✓ final score: final skoru, maç skoru ------------------------- ✓ home game: ev sahibi maçı ✓ away game: deplasman maçı ------------------------- ✓ has the lead: önde olmak ✓ make a comeback: geriden gelmek ✓ take the lead: öne geçmek ✓ gymnastics competition: jimnastik müsabakası ✓ martial arts competition: dövüş sanatları müsabakası ✓ surfing competition: sörf müsabakası ✓ ice skating competition: buz pateni müsabakası ------------------------- ✓ enter a competition: bir yarışmaya katılmak ✓ win first place: birinci olmak ✓ enhance their performance: performansını geliştirmek ✓ fail a drug test: uyuşturucu testinden geçememek ------------------------- ✓ achieve a personal best: kişisel rekor kormak ✓ break the world record: dünya rekorunu kırmak ✓ set a new world record: yeni bir rekora imza atmak ✓ withdraw from the competition (voluntarily leave the competition): yarışmadan çekilmek, diskalifiye olmamak kaydıyla ayrılmak
