When Play€ in English is used €œ
The verb €œPlay€ in English is used, by general norm, for organized sports and competitive games that imply the use of a ball or any other object. And how to know what enters the category of €œanother object€? You do not worry, when you also see the other sections (that is to say; €œWhen Do€ in English€ is used €œand €œWhen it is used €œGo€ in English€) you will see what perfectly we talked about.
PS: surely that €œby general norm€ has drawn you attention.

The verb €œGo€ in English usually is used with activities that finish in €œ€“ Ing.€ (that is to say, gerund) as €œFishing€ (€œTo fish€) or €œCamping€ (€œTo encamp€). Nevertheless, this would be a quite vague description of the use of this verb.
Therefore, €œGo€ in English accompanies specifically to activities that habitually are realised in the outside (more in particular in the heat of nature) or to activities that, still being inside some installation, must become in a special place. So that we are understood: in the activities to which it accompanies €œGo€ is necessary €œto go€ to some site in particular to be realised.
PS: a truquito of veterans; if you translate the happy activities to the Spanish and these require the use of the verb €œTo go€ (as in the following examples) then ten by certainly have to be preceded by the verb in English €œGo€.

That is to say, all those activities and sports that are not included in the other two verbs.
Nevertheless, this would not be absolutely correct. Then with some finished activities and sports in €œ- Ing.€ yes has to be used €œDo€. When? Then with activities to which it is not necessary to go to a site in particular to be practiced. Nevertheless, they are the minuses cases. And even the native ones usually are confused with the use of these two verbs in English. So very kind for the following examples so that you verify to what we talked about!
