Q01. 'He plays the piano.' but why not 'He plays the football.'?

Because a piano is bigger than a football, that's why 'the piano'. If the thing is small, just 'football' will do. So for big things, use 'the', for small things, forget the 'the'.

Anymore questions, please don't hesitate to post here. Thank you.

when to use who or whom in a sentence?

'Whom' is used in the middle of a sentence while 'Who' is used as the first word in a sentence.

Eg.

Your wife whom you dislike, like to suck my cock.

Who are you going out with tonight?

Ummm. What about Harmonica? Confirm smaller than football.

You can say, 'How to play Harmonica?' and 'How to play the Harmonica?' Both sound OK but not 'How to play the football?'

Harmonica is smaller than football. Anything that is smaller or bigger than a football, you add "the".

One is the organ, the other is the player. Or is this a riddle ?

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Football in this context is referring to the game and not the ball...ie play cricket, play hockey.
When referring to the ball then you use the correct action which is kick...ie kick the football.

The full sentence should be "May God bless you" but people usually short-cut and say "God bless you", otherwise it should be "God blesses you"

Tio bo ?

 

[looneytan]

Tio bo ?

Ya man, I think ... Tio

What a rarity! A sinkie with a brain! Yes, boss, you're right. This is known as formulaic subjunctive.

Q01. 'He plays the piano.' but why not 'He plays the football.'?

Boss, I dunoe why this is the case. I only know that the article "the" precedes musical instruments whereas there's no article before sports. I'm guessing that the reason why "the" is used before musical instruments is because you need to specify which instrument you're playing whereas football is football, there's no other football out there that needs to be specified.
