Tan lib, pasatan ak espò

« What do you do in your free time? » se dezyèm kesyon apre « what do you do? », e pou reponn li kòrèkteman, ou bezwen yon ti règ sou vèb yo.

Play, do oswa go ?

Kreyòl la gen tou twa vèb — jwe (jwe foutbòl), fè (fè yoga) ak al (al naje) — kidonk sa abitye. Men kreyòl la souvan di fè espò, fè naje ak yon sèl vèb, fè, e se la I do swimming soti. Angle repati yo selon règ presi.

play + jwèt ak balon ak jwèt konpetisyon (gen yon advèsè) :

play football · play tennis · play chess · play cards · play video games

do + aktivite san balon e, souvan, san advèsè :

do yoga · do karate · do gymnastics · do exercise · do athletics · do a course

go + aktivite ki fini an -ing :

go swimming · go running · go cycling · go hiking · go shopping · go fishing · go climbing

Tèminezon -ing se yon endis fyab : si aktivite a fini an -ing, ou bezwen go.

❌ I do swimming. (« mwen fè naje ») → ✅ I go swimming. ❌ I play yoga. → ✅ I do yoga.

Gen yon lòt modèl pou kote ou ale to : go to the gym, go to a concert, go to the cinema.

Espò san atik

I play football. (pa the football)

She plays the piano. (enstriman yo, yo, pran atik la)

Kontras sa a vo la pèn pou memorize : espò san the, enstriman ak li. Kreyòl la pa mete atik devan non enstriman (Li jwe pyano), se poutèt sa moun di She plays piano ; an angle, enstriman mande the.

Gade pa jwe

Angle kenbe de nosyon sa yo apa, e konfizyon an souvan isit la :

• I play football. (mwen sou teren an)
• I watch football. (mwen sou kanape a)
• I'm a big fan of United. · I support United.

Atansyon : support vle di « sipòte yon ekip » ; sipòte an kreyòl (andire) di an angle stand oswa put up with.

Ki jan pou eksprime yon enterè

• I'm into photography. (familye, ak antouzyasm)
• I'm keen on cycling.
• I'm not really into football.
• It's not my thing. (fason politè pou di ou pa renmen)
• I've taken up running. (ou fèk kòmanse l)
• I've given up smoking. (ou sispann li)

Ki jan pou evalye pwòp nivo ou

Isit la, abitid la se minimize sa nou fè : moun ki pale angle depi yo piti sou-estime tèt yo sistematikman.

• I'm quite good at chess. · I'm not very good at it.
• I'm learning. · I'm a complete beginner.
• I used to play a lot, but not any more.

Remake prepozisyon la : good at, pa « good in » (kreyòl la di bon nan, ak nan ki vle di in).

Frekans

I go to the gym three times a week.

I play now and then. (detanzantan)

I hardly ever watch TV.

Pasatan kouran

reading · cooking · gardening · painting · photography · travelling · gaming · watching films · listening to music · going to concerts · collecting

Ki jan pou pwopoze yon plan

• Do you fancy a game of tennis? (britanik, trè souvan)
• Would you like to come?
• Are you up for it? (familye)
• Aksepte : I'd love to. · Sounds good.
• Refize : I'd love to, but I'm busy on Saturday. (pati ak but la obligatwa ; yon no sèk sonnen fwad)

Konvèsasyon an li menm

• What do you do in your free time?
• Have you got any hobbies?
• How long have you been doing that?
• What got you into it? — yon kesyon ki vrèman lanse konvèsasyon an

Pasatan yo se chemen estanda pou amitye an angle. Vokabilè a senp isit la ; sa ki konte se yon lòt bagay : gen de fraz pare sou sa ou fè vre. I've taken up climbing — I'm terrible, but I go twice a week di plis sou yon moun pase nenpòt lis enterè.

Apre reyinyon an

A: Do you do anything at the weekend?

B: I go climbing, mostly. I took it up last year.

A: Are you any good?

B: Not really — I'm still learning. Do you fancy trying it sometime?

A: I'd love to, but heights aren't my thing.

Go + -ing, take up, yon repons modès, yon envitasyon ak yon refi dous : tout modèl konvèsasyon an nan yon sèl echanj.
