Bowling/bowl

Hi,

I went bowling yesterday. OK

I played bowls with my friends. Only OK if you are referring to the game played on grass. Not the game played inside with a large ball, and pins that you knock down.

Is the second sentence correct?

Ok,
so can I say: I am playing bowling with my friends at the moment. ?

I know that some sports "go" with play, some with go and with do.

-ing goes with go, but when you want to use it in present continuous you have to use do or play, haven't you?

Hi,

Say 'I am playing bowls with my friends' if you are playing the 'on the grass' kind.

Say 'I am bowling with my friends' if you are in a bowling alley, knocking down pins.



If you have a further question about this, please specify which kind of game you are talking about.

Thank you,

I was talking about bowling - knocking down pins.

I understand now.
