Did you know?
- In Spanish, the verb jugar is used for games and sports, but you would never use it to say 'I will play' an instrument. To play a guitar or piano, you must use the verb tocar, which literally means 'to touch'.
- If you are playing with objects like cards or dice, you use jugaré, but if you are actually performing a role in a play, you must use actuaré.
- Using jugaré in a casual conversation about a game can make you sound like you are making a solemn, dramatic vow rather than a simple plan.
