Not regular donation

np36Super Member!

Hello,

     I was asked whether I would like to donate money to the charity every month or not, meaning that they will deduct a certain amount of money from my bank account every month. I don't want to do that. I would like to donate at a time. Do I use the correct words; at a time? I mean I would like to do occasionally, not regularly.

      My second question is what is the specific word for "playing or enjoying activity outdoors" ? Thank you very much.Smile

Hi! For your first question, the best thing to say is "I would just like to make a single donation." You can also say a "one-time donation." If you think you might like to make more donations in the future, but you don't know when, you can say "I may make more individual donations in the future."

For your second question, you might be looking for the word "recreation." It is a noun. If you are looking for a verb, it's best to simply say "play outside" or "do outdoor activities."

Thanks!
