Hello everyone!
The idea here is to debate about the appropriate English usage while having fun with a sweet little girl (my 2-year-old daughter) in the playground.
Whenever we are playing there some doubts arise and I'd like to have them checked here. So now that the context is set, let's move on to the first debate.
See-saw, swing, slide, merry-go-round etc they are all rides, aren't they?
Is there any other general name to address them?
Whenever I want to encourage her to go to a different ride I say: wanna ride that one, how about riding the slide now etc.
Since I've never seen any other English speaking parents using such sentences while playing in the playground I decided I needed to check if they sound natural or if they could have a more appropriate version.
Cheers,
Tito
