โฝ Talking About Hobbies
Learn how to talk about what you like to do in your free time. You will use simple words to share your favorite activities.
Using 'Like' +ing
When we talk about our hobbies, we often use the verb 'like' followed by an action word ending in 'ing'. This is a great way to say what you enjoy doing on the weekend or after work. For example, if you enjoy football, you say 'I like playing football.' Remember to add 'ing' to the main action word every time.
Using 'Play' and 'Do'
We use different action words for different hobbies. We use 'play' for team sports and games with balls, like football or tennis. We use 'do' for individual exercises or activities that do not use a ball, like yoga or karate. Knowing when to use 'play' or 'do' makes your English sound very natural.
Asking About Hobbies
To ask other people about their free time, use the question 'What do you like doing?' or 'Do you like...?'. This is a friendly way to start a conversation with someone new. You can answer with 'Yes, I do' or 'No, I don't' and then give a short detail about your hobby.
