which sentence you think is more correct?
1. I like to play such sports as volleyball, soccer and basketball.
I like to do such sports as volleyball, soccer and basketball.
2. I have not played with these programs, so I don't know how to run them
I have not used these programs, so I don't know how to run them.
P.s. frankly speaking, the word "play" in the second sentence confused me much, when I saw it. How can you play with a program?

for me vs to me
I read this grammar on grammar sites, but still can't understand, what are the differences between for me and to me.
Here are some example sentences:
1. I tried to play chess, but it is very difficult to me,
I tried to play chess, but it is very difficult for me;
2. The grammar exam is hard to me to pass,
The grammar exam is hard for me to pass;
3. It is hard/difficult to me to understand what she is saying,
It is hard/difficult for me to understand what she is saying.
I can't understand what form to chose in these sentences. In my opinion they are all correct and interchangable, but I also know that there are differences between forms "for me" and "to me". Can you please explain me what is the difference? If possible, can you please correct them?
Thank you!

Plural or singular?
Which phrase is correct to say?
1. These/those people.
2. This/that people.
As I understand this word should be used in plural form, but I saw on one site native English speaker said "that people". Is that grammatically correct?

What does gravy mean?
I usually hear people say "I like to eat mashed potatoes with gravy". I looked it up in the dictionary and it said that synonym is a sauce. But I don't understand why it is used to say "mashed potatoes with gravy", why not "with sauce"? And what kind of gravy (sauce) it is meant?
