hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
Vanessa comm who are you gonna play
let’s talk about it today I want to
teach you how to use the word play in an
advanced way you probably already know
how to say I play soccer I play games
but this is gonna help you use this word
in another way and how I’m gonna do this
is I want to teach you with two clips
from real life I filmed a pool game with
my husband and I filmed a ping-pong game
that he was playing so you can see him
naturally use this just spontaneously so
how can you use this expression play in
an advanced way when you’re talking
about the other person who you’re gonna
play with or play against you might say
I’m gonna play him now this means you’re
gonna play against him he’s gonna be
your opponent
your temporary enemy I’m gonna play him
this is a way to just simply say I’m
gonna play the game with him he’s gonna
be my opponent so let’s take a look at
this in two natural situations you play
Vanessa do I have to play dad next
how did you do could you hear these
natural sentences in their conversations
I want you to be able to use play in
this advanced way so in the comments

play games when you play sports who do
you like to play or you could tell me
about your favorite soccer team your
favorite baseball team next week they’re
gonna play the neighboring team who are
