The idea — Sports and moving
To say you play a sport in Korean, add 를 해요 to the noun — 축구를 해요 means 'I play soccer', and 수영해요, 달리기를 해요, 산책해요 work the same way for swimming, running, and walking.
Next time someone asks 운동해요?, you can actually answer with what you do and when — 금요일에 축구를 해요, no translating in your head first.
