Hi,

1) We rented a video game instead of a movie.

2) Jeremy took ballet instead of fencing lessons.
3) We bought crackers instead of crisps.

4) (My )mum bought gloves instead of a scarf.

Actually we can write something like " My mum bought gloves instead of buying a scarf" too.( Grammatically correct too here, but the sentence is too heavy.)



Since I do not like these kinds of heavy sentences, I 'd rather use the four sentences above .


Cheers
