Los deportes en ingl\u00e9s<\/h2>\n\n

Los nombres de deportes no llevan art\u00edculo ni may\u00fascula: I love football<\/span>, no \u00abthe football\u00bb. Muchos se parecen al espa\u00f1ol, pero la pronunciaci\u00f3n cambia. La s\u00edlaba con tilde es la t\u00f3nica; en ingl\u00e9s brit\u00e1nico, la r final no suena.<\/p>\n\n

Play, do o go: la regla<\/h2>\n\n
  1. Play + deportes de pelota o con adversario.<\/strong> play football<\/span>, play tennis<\/span>, play basketball<\/span>, play golf<\/span>. Tambi\u00e9n los juegos: play chess<\/span>, play cards<\/span>.<\/li>
  2. Go + actividades en -ing.<\/strong> go swimming<\/span>, go cycling<\/span>, go running<\/span>, go skiing<\/span>, go climbing<\/span>, go horse riding<\/span> (go horseback riding<\/span> en Estados Unidos). Son actividades para las que \u00abse va\u00bb a alg\u00fan sitio.<\/li>
  3. Do + artes marciales, gimnasia y actividades individuales.<\/strong> do judo<\/span>, do karate<\/span>, do gymnastics<\/span>, do athletics<\/span>, do yoga<\/span>, do exercise<\/span>. Boxing<\/span> termina en -ing, pero se dice do boxing<\/span>.<\/li>
  4. Muchos tienen su propio verbo.<\/strong> swim<\/span>, run<\/span>, cycle<\/span>, ski<\/span>, skate<\/span>, surf<\/span>, climb<\/span>, box<\/span>: I swim every Monday<\/span> equivale a I go swimming every Monday<\/span>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n

    Es una tendencia muy regular, pero no una ley matem\u00e1tica: ante un deporte nuevo, lo m\u00e1s seguro es comprobarlo en el diccionario.<\/p>\n\n

    I play basketball on Saturdays.<\/span>Juego al baloncesto los s\u00e1bados.<\/small><\/p>\n\n

    We go swimming twice a week.<\/span>Vamos a nadar dos veces por semana.<\/small><\/p>\n\n

    My sister does karate.<\/span>Mi hermana hace k\u00e1rate.<\/small><\/p>\n\n

    Do you do any sport?<\/span>\u00bfHaces alg\u00fan deporte?<\/small><\/p>\n\n

    Do you do any sport?<\/span> es la pregunta brit\u00e1nica; en Estados Unidos se dice m\u00e1s Do you play any sports?<\/span>, con sports<\/span> en plural.<\/p>\n\n

      Ganar, perder y los marcadores<\/h2>\n\n

        Who scored the goal?<\/span>\u00bfQui\u00e9n marc\u00f3 el gol?<\/small><\/p>\n\n

        • football<\/span>: en Reino Unido, el f\u00fatbol; en Estados Unidos, el f\u00fatbol americano. El f\u00fatbol, all\u00ed, es soccer<\/span>.<\/li>
        • hockey<\/span>: en Reino Unido, sin m\u00e1s precisi\u00f3n, suele ser el hockey sobre hierba (field hockey<\/span> en Estados Unidos); en Estados Unidos y Canad\u00e1, el hockey sobre hielo (ice hockey<\/span>).<\/li>
        • athletics<\/span> (UK) se llama track and field<\/span> en Estados Unidos.<\/li>
        • practise<\/span> (verbo brit\u00e1nico) y practice<\/span> (verbo americano) significan entrenar o ensayar, no \u00abpracticar un deporte\u00bb en general.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n

          En clase: un deporte cada d\u00eda<\/h2>\n\n

          Una imagen, el nombre del deporte en espa\u00f1ol, la clase busca c\u00f3mo se dice en ingl\u00e9s; se desvela la palabra con su pronunciaci\u00f3n, una frase de ejemplo y una consigna para reutilizarla. Es exactamente lo que hace un ritual diario, y cada deporte es la ocasi\u00f3n de repasar play, do y go.<\/p>\n\n

          1. Repasa el deporte de ayer con su verbo: Yesterday’s sport was\u2026 Do we play it, do it or go\u2026?<\/span><\/li>
          2. Muestra la imagen del d\u00eda y deja unos segundos para pensar.<\/li>
          3. Recoge propuestas. Si nadie lo sabe, pistas en ingl\u00e9s: You need a racket and a ball. You play it on a court.<\/span><\/li>
          4. Desvela la palabra y hazla repetir junto a su verbo: play tennis<\/span>, no \u00abtennis\u00bb solo.<\/li>
          5. Reutilizaci\u00f3n: cada alumno dice si lo practica y con qu\u00e9 frecuencia: I play tennis once a week.<\/span> \/ I never play tennis.<\/span><\/li>
          6. El viernes, m\u00edmica: un alumno imita un deporte y la clase responde con la frase completa: You’re doing gymnastics!<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n

            Adaptar al nivel del grupo<\/h3>\n\n
            • A1<\/b>El deporte y los gustos: I play football. I like swimming.<\/span><\/li>
            • A2<\/b>Frecuencia y lugares: I go swimming twice a week at the sports centre.<\/span><\/li>
            • B1<\/b>Experiencia con present perfect: I’ve played tennis since I was six.<\/span><\/li>
            • B2<\/b>Debate: Should professional footballers earn so much money?<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n

              En Primaria, la m\u00edmica y los colores de las pelotas funcionan solos. En la ESO, una encuesta r\u00e1pida de clase con How often do you\u2026?<\/span> practica los adverbios de frecuencia. En Bachillerato y en la EOI, los grandes acontecimientos deportivos dan tema de debate.<\/p>\n\n

              Errores t\u00edpicos de los alumnos hispanohablantes<\/h2>\n\n
              • Calcar \u00abpracticar\u00bb: \u00abI practice football\u00bb. Correcto: I play football.<\/span><\/li>
              • Calcar \u00abhacer deporte\u00bb: \u00abI make sport\u00bb. Correcto: I do sport<\/span> (UK) o I play sports<\/span> (US).<\/li>
              • Usar play<\/span> con todo: \u00abplay swimming\u00bb, \u00abplay judo\u00bb. Correcto: go swimming<\/span>, do judo<\/span>.<\/li>
              • Poner art\u00edculo: \u00abThe football is my favourite sport\u00bb. Correcto: Football is my favourite sport.<\/span><\/li>
