Things

Hi! Are the below sentences natural English? Thanks, Fulvio

1. On the weekend I have time to do things such as playing tennis, gardening and watching a movie.
2. On weekdays I have no time to do things such as playing golf, visit friends and riding my horse.

", but you should be consistent within the list and not mix them up as you have in (2). "on the weekend" is wrong in BrE (we say "at the weekend"), but my understanding is that "on the weekend" is used in AmE. Otherwise they are OK.

I would accept both "do things such as play golf, visit friends ..." and "do things such as playing golf, visiting friends ...", but you should be consistent within the list and not mix them up as you have in (2).

"on the weekend" is wrong in BrE (we say "at the weekend"), but my understanding is that "on the weekend" is used in AmE.

Otherwise they are OK.
