I'm adding into what Avery said about how this grammar point could use some clarification, as I find this one particularly confusing as well. Thank you Avery!
It's unclear that some activities can be referred to by both faire and jouer. I only figured this out because I got dinged on a test for not knowing that basketball is one of these. I do see that the examples show this, but an explicit explanation would be nice. Or a list of common activities and whether they are faire or jouer would be helpful.
The section on faire de la danse vs danser could be clarified a bit more too. There are gray sentences for the example English phrases, but they aren't translated into French. I can't see how the sentences in French would be built without making my own guesses.
Thanks guys!
Is "on" used throughout this text instead of "nous" since this is considered casual writing?
Why are the plural "tous" and plural agreement "habillés" used with "on"? I thought it was considered a singular pronoun since it conjugates with il and elle.
