team sport played over a net
A sport where two teams hit a ball over a high net and try to make it touch the ground on the other team’s side.
Schemat użycia:
to play volleyball
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes say *"I play the volleyball"* when talking about the sport. In English, we usually say *"I play volleyball"* with no article. Use *volleyball* without *a* or *the* when you mean the sport in general. Another mistake is confusing the sport (uncountable: *I like volleyball*) with a match or game (countable: *We played two games of volleyball*).
Synonimy
team sport (More general; refers to any sport played in teams, not specifically volleyball.)
Antonimy
individual sport (Refers to sports played by one person alone, unlike volleyball which is played in teams.)
