Going to the movies/theatre. Listening to a band/going to a concert. Entertainment is entertaining or being entertained or it is a thing that entertains. Entertainment is a collective noun and does not take an "s" in the plural.

The difference can be subtle. Entertainment can be described as activities you enjoy doing. Things that are fun. Everything you listed as leisure could also be called entertainment. Leisure would also include activities outside of work or duty that are not normally thought of as fun, such as relaxing in a chair outside, or quietly meditating. I hope this helps.

Yes! Those are all leisure. They are all also forms of entertainment! I would say: "In my leisure time I like to read." Or I could say: "I read for entertainment." Both are correct. They have very similar meanings, they are just used slightly differently.

But, u say, we must have recreation; what shall we do? Turn to domestic enterprises, and to the gaining of useful knowledge of the gospel. Let the love of reading good and useful books be implanted in the hearts of the young, let them be trained to take pleasure and recreation in history, travel, biography, conversation and classic story. Then there are innocent games, music, songs, and literary recreation. What would u think of the man who would argue for whisky and beer as a common beverage because it is necessary for people to drink? He is perhaps little worse than the man who would place cards in the hands of my children—whereby they would foster the spirit of chance and gambling leading down to destruction—bcz they must have recreation. I would call the first a vicious enemy, and refer him to water to drink; and the latter an evil spirit in the guise of innocence, and refer him to recreation containing no germs of spiritual disease leading to the devil! . . . It is not true that only that recreation can be enjoyed that is detrimental to the body and spirit. We should train ourselves to find pleasure in that which invigorates, not stupefies and destroys the body; that which leads upward and not down; that which brightens, not dulls and stunts the intellect; that which elevates and exalts the spirit, not that clogs and depresses it. So shall we please the Lord, enhance our own enjoyment, and save ourselves and our children from impending sins.
