Well, it depends a bit :-)
In Europe, it would be:
8.- Juego al baloncesto
9.- Juego al golf
To determine which sentence is correct in question 8 and question 9, we need to understand the correct usage of prepositions in Spanish.
In Spanish, when talking about playing sports or games, we typically use the preposition "a" followed by the definite article "el" (which contracts to "al").
Now let's analyze the options provided:
8.
- "Juego baloncesto": This sentence is incorrect because it lacks the preposition "a" before the definite article.
- "Juego a la baloncesto": This sentence is incorrect because it includes the preposition "a" twice. We only need it once.
- "*Juego al baloncesto": This sentence is correct because it includes the preposition "a" followed by the definite article "el" (which contracts to "al"). This is the appropriate way to express "I play basketball" in Spanish.
Therefore, the correct sentence in question 8 is "*Juego al baloncesto."
9.
- "Juego al golf": This sentence is correct because it follows the correct pattern of using the preposition "a" followed by the definite article "el" (which contracts to "al"). This is the appropriate way to express "I play golf" in Spanish.
- "Juego golf": This sentence is incorrect because it lacks the preposition "a" before the definite article.
- "Juego a la golf": This sentence is incorrect because it includes the preposition "a" twice. We only need it once.
Therefore, the correct sentence in question 9 is "Juego al golf."
