 to act, to play, to perform Is it possible to say 1 Plays were acted during the day 2 Plays were played during the day 3. Plays were performed during the day. Is there a difference between act/play/perform? Are there combinations in which only one of them is possible and the other two aren't acceptable? Thanks. Rip. |

| Re: to act, to play, to perform 1. Plays were acted during the day. (someone acts; plays do not act) 2. Plays were played during the day. (plays and played are too similar) 3. Plays were performed during the day.  |
