Common Mistakes

  • ¿Sigue algún deporte?

    ‘Sigue’ is third‑person singular; the correct form for ‘you (tú)’ is ‘sigues’.

  • ¿Sigues alguna deporte?

    ‘Deporte’ is masculine, so the indefinite adjective must be ‘algún’, not ‘alguna’.

  • ¿Sigues algún deportes?

    When using ‘algún’, the noun must stay singular; use ‘algún deporte’ or ‘varios deportes’.

Alternatives

    Do you like any sport?

  • ¿Sigues algún equipo?

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries football (soccer) dominates the sports conversation, so ‘seguir’ often implies being a fan of a particular club or league. When you ask ‘¿Sigues algún deporte?’ you’re usually inviting the other person to talk about their favorite teams, not necessarily about playing the sport themselves.
