TOEFL SKILLS & EXERCISES

#Collocations

🔘Sports

▪️The first important collocation involving sports is when to use the verbs play, do, and go.

🔸 We typically  use play for team sportsyou play soccer, play basketball, play tennis, play baseball, and play golf
🔸The verb do is used for more individual sports – you do yoga, do gymnastics, do martial arts, and do aerobics. Also, in more general terms, you do exercise. Another common individual exercise is to lift weights.

🔸The verb go is used with most activities that end in –ing: you go swimming, go biking, go surfing, go rock climbing, go bowling, and go fishing.

🔸With the team sports, we can use the word game or match: a soccer game, a basketball game, a tennis 
match, etc.


🔸 You can win the game, lose the game, or tie the game – that’s when the final score is 1-1 or 2-2, for example. 

🔸A team can play a home game – when they play in their own stadium or field – or an away game – when they play at the opposing team’s stadium or field. When there are many teams that are playing many  games to see which one is the best, we call this a tournament. 

🔸When one team is winning in the middle of the game – for example, 3-1 – we say that team has the lead. However, the other team can make a comeback – score points from a losing position – and take the lead, 4-3.

🔸With the sports that use “do” and “go,” we typically use the word competition – a
gymnastics competition, a martial arts competition, a surfing competition, an ice skating competition, etc.


🔸The  exception is sports where you go from one place to another – like running, biking, and swimming – in that case, we often call the event a race.



🔸Athletes can enter a competition and try to win first place. Some athletes try to enhance their performance with illegal substances such as steroids. But if they fail a drug test, they’ll be disqualified 
from participating.


🔸If the athlete is performing well, they may achieve a personal best – and if they perform better than ANYONE ever has in the past, then they could even break the world record or set a new world record. If they get injured, however, they might have to withdraw from the competition (voluntarily leave the  competition) .

TOEFL SKILLS & EXERCISES

So/Neither do I and I think so



A: So and neither



Vicky: I'm hungry.
Rachel: So am I.1 haven't eaten anything all day.
Daniel: Neither have I. I didn't have time for breakfast.

▪️We use so after a positive statement and neither after a negative one.

~ I'm hungry.
~So am I. (= And I'm hungry./I'm hungry, too.)

~l
haven't eaten.
~ Neither have I. (= And I haven't eaten./I haven't eaten either.)

The structure is so/neither + an auxiliary + the subject.
➖The auxiliary is a form of be or have or a modal verb, e.g. can.

~We're really busy at work.
~ So are we.

~Tom has gone to the match.
~ And so has Nick.

~David can't drive, and neither can Melanie.
➖ The subject comes at the end. NOT We're busy. ~ So we are.

▪️ In the present simple and past simple we use a form of do.
~I love old cowboy films.
~ So do I.

~This phone doesn't work. ~Neither does this one.

~United won, and so did Rangers.

▪️We can use nor instead of neither.
~Emma isn't here tonight. ~Neither/Nor is Matthew.


➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖


B. I think so, etc



Vicky: It's 'Round the Corner' at half past seven, my favourite
soap opera. Are we going to be back in time?
Daniel: I think so. We haven't got far to go now.
Rachel: We might miss the beginning.
Vicky: Oh, I hope not. I want to know if Bernard really did stea
the money.
Here I think so means I think we'll be back in time', and I hope not means I hope we don't miss the beginning'.

▪️We can use so after be afraid, believe, expect, guess, hope, suppose and think:

~Do you think you'll get the job? ~ Well, I hope so.

~Are you going
on holiday this year?
~ Yes, I expect so. I don't know for sure if Henry is rich, but I should think so. But we cannot use so after know or be sure.

~There's been an accident.
~ Yes, I know, NOT l know so.

~Are you sure you're doing the right thing?
~ Yes, I'm sure, NOT I'm sure so.

▪️There are two negative structures:

NEGATIVE + SO

POSITIVE + not

~Is it raining?
~ I don't think so.

~ Is it raining?
~ I hope not.

~Are you going to the concert?
~ I don't expect so.

~Have we won a prize?
~ I'm afraid not.

~With expect and think, we normally use the negative and so.

~With be afraid, guess and hope, we use the positive and not.

🔸We can use believe and suppose in either structure:

~Will there be any seats left?
~ I don't suppose so.
OR I suppose not.
