I just want to relax
this weekend. I don’t want to study. I don’t want to clean or do laundry. I
just want to relax. Maybe I’ll watch something on Netflix or take a long nap. I
might call up some friends and shoot
some hoops if the weather is
nice.
Context #2:
We just returned from
the LA Lakers NBA game in Downtown Los Angeles. It was so exciting! Basketball
is my favorite sport and I can’t wait to join a team so I can shoot some
hoops with my friends!
Explanation:
To shoot some hoops means to play basketball. The sport of basketball is played with a ball and the
object of the game is to get the ball through a hoop by throwing the ball.The verb shoot is used the same as throw.
