Bonjour Olga,
"JOUER + À + [SPORT]Ils jouent au basket.They play basketball.Je joue aux échecs. I play chess.Il joue au tennis.He plays tennis.You can use jouer à followed by la or l' in front of a vowel or mute h, but remember that le and les will contract with à and become au and aux.Ils jouent au basket.They play basketball.ATTENTION:With music instruments, you will use de instead of à (See Jouer de = to play an instrument in French)."
Il joue au golf. Why au , not du?
For exactly the reason shown above in the lesson,
Bonne continuation
Jim
