One should always try to be playful anf light, no matter how difficult it is....

You can dream OF a sandy beach in the midst of winter WITH a loving arm next to you.

It �s all so confusing...

playful can �t really be used in the way you have asked - it has a different meaning.

He was in a playful mood - means he was joking & teasing, being amusing, & can be applied to adults as well as children. The old cat was as playful as a kitten.

You can �t say �I ate much ice cream. �

But you can say: I ate too much ice cream.

You can �t say � I ate many ice creams �

But you can say �I ate too many ice creams. �

Say: I ate lots of ice cream.

He is a graphic designer. He has a career in graphic design.

I play the guitar. I play guitar. I play a guitar. - All OK

Barbie & Ken are both dolls.

A teddy bear is a soft toy. The term for all those soft cuddly things is �soft toys � not teddy bear.

I think the closest adjective to describe a child who likes to play a lot is maybe a "fun-loving child".

Error correction is often done by the teacher providing corrections for mistakes made by students. However, it is probably more effective for students to correct their own mistakes. In order to do this, students and the teacher should have a common shorthand for correcting mistakes.

I played a lot as a child. (To use an adjective, you could say "I was an active child.")

"I ate a lot of ice cream(s)" or "I ate lots of ice cream".

A career in Graphic Design (He �s a Graphic Designer)

" play guitar" and " play the guitar"are both correct.

I dream of....
