Hello everybody,
I was wondering...

2. I can play tennis a bit.
Are they acceptable? They don �t sound well ...
Thanks for your help, Chiara

Hi. They both sound good to me, but they have different meanings. The first one means that I can play tennis for a short while and the second that I am not very good at playing tennis. Ed

I think the second option is better if you mean that you aren�t a great tennis player |
