8 Les jeux et les sports
En anglais, tous les noms de jeux et de sports sont singuliers.Ils ne prennent pas d’article défini.le football= footballj’aime le football= I like footballles échecs= chessj’aime les échecs= I like chessles règles des échecs= the rules of chessjouer aux échecs= to play chesssavez-vous jouer aux échecs?= can you play chess?faire une partie d’échecs= to play a game of chessfaire un bridge= to have a game of bridgeCertains noms de jeux et de sports ont une forme de pluriel, mais ils se comportent tout de même comme des singuliers: billiards, bowls, checkers, darts, dominoes, draughts etc.les dominos sont un jeu facile= dominoes is easyle jeu de boules est pratiqué par les dames et les messieurs= bowls is played both by men and womenLes noms des joueursCertains noms de sportifs en anglais se forment en ajoutant -er au nom du sport.un footballeur= a footballerun golfeur= a golferun coureur de 100 mètres= a 100-metre runnerun coureur de haies= a hurdlerMais ceci n’est pas toujours possible. Par contre, pour les sports d’équipe, on peut toujours utiliser le mot player précédé du nom du sport.un joueur de football= a football playerun joueur de rugby= a rugby playerEn cas de doute, consulter l’article dans le dictionnaire.Pour les noms de personnes qui jouent à des jeux, on utilise la même construction avec player.un joueur d’échecs= a chess playerNoter que dans les exemples suivants chess peut être remplacé par presque tous les noms de sports et de jeux.
