Sport or sports

Hi,

My students asked me if they should say:

"He doesn't play sports." or "He doesn't play sport."

Could anyone help me - I can't find an answer anywhere.

Thanks

To add to Clive's answer, sport is BrE. AmE uses sports.



Sports are games such as football and basketball and other competitive leisure activities which need physical effort and skill.

I'd say football is my favourite sport...

Hi Clive

Nowadays, I am learning aikido three times a week, so I've not much time for the EnglishForward. I am also busy with my daily religious activities. I returned recently from a 5-day prigrimage to the Head Temple Tasekiji, in Tokyo.

Thanks for the concern.

With warmest wishes

YL
