What’s the correct verb that goes with “Parachute”?
Can I say ride a Parachute?
Or only jump a Parachute?
Thank you for helping.

Lyn has given an accurate response, but I would add that a common alternative is to say "skydiving". "I went skydiving", "I skydived last weekend", "I am going to skydive", "I am going to go skydiving", "I will do a tandem skydive", etc.

Neither of these is correct. You would say "I'm going to do a parachute jump"

Hello Hafsa!
The verb for jumping out of a plane with a parachute is "to parachute".
For example:
I can "parachute".
or
I enjoy "parachuting" as a hobby.
or
I'm learning how to "parachute".
or
I have "parachuted" before."
I hope that helps!
