SPORTS VOCUBULARY

Hi Everyone..

Today, in this blog, I am writing to give some vocabulary about sports :

1- Contact sports

Definition : Sports like rugby, American football and wrestling in which the players have strong physical contact with each other.

He played contact sports when he was younger but then he had a serious accident on the field and hasn't played rugby since.

2- Spectator sports

Definition : Sports which people go to watch.

I don't understand why people think golf is a good spectator sport. It's so slow and not much happens in it.

3- Blood sports

Definition : Sports that involve animals being killed or hurt to excite the people watching or taking part.

I don't understand why people enjoy killing tigers. There are so few of them left in the world. I think blood sports should be outlawed .

Hopefully the vocaubularies will be beneficial to you.

A QUESTION

Hi everybody

Today, I'd like to write a little bit of questions. The purpose of this writing is to remember what I've only just read about questions. Sometimes I forgot what I read, so I decided to write it to remember it. And also I hope it will be beneficial to you.

I will try to take it is not going to take too long so that you will find it's interesting.

Let's take a sentence, for example " William ate a lof of chocolate". In this sentence, "William" is the subject and "a lot of chocolate" is the object.

1- When we want to make the subject question we do not need the auxilliary verb, for example : Who ate a lot of chocolate?. The answer is "William".

2- When we want to make the object question we need the auxilliary verb "did", for example : What did Willian eat?. The answer is " a lot of chocolate"


That's all.
