Activated abilities that use the tap symbol cannot be played while a creature has summoning sickness. However 'static' abilities such as "other goblin creatures you control get +1/+1" are not affected, nor are activated abilities that do not use the tap symbol, including some that do require a tap as a cost, but without using the symbol. For example, Gilt-Leaf Archdruid requires you to tap seven druids. Because this cost does not use the tap symbol, druids with summoning sickness can be used.

Are non-tap abilities still subject to summoning sickness in magic the gathering?
Summoning Sickness stops a creature from attacking, and prevents it from tapping as the cost of an activated ability that uses the tap symbol. Non-tap abilities are not affected by summoning sickness. They can be tapped for the cost of abilities that do not use the tap symbol (such as that of Gilt-Leaf Archdruid).
Can creatures with summoning sickness attack back when they are defending in 'Magic The Gathering'?
Defending creatures deal damage to an attacking creature's toughness when they block equal to their power. It's called 'blocking', not 'attacking back'. Summoning sickness has no affect on blocking. Summoning sickness is the inability of a creature to use tap (tap symbol) abilities or attack until the next turn of the owner who summoned it.
Is in Magic the Gathering a new creature brought into play tapped?

What cards have summoning sickness in magic the gathering?

Does summoning sickness apply to cards removed then brought back into the game?
Yes it does. If the creature wasn't continuously in play under your control since the beginning of your turn, then it is subject to 'summoning sickness', so that includes creatures that temporarily left play and were then returned, and also when you take control of a creature too.
In Magic the Gathering when a monster with summoning sickness is tapped is it destroyed?
No, of course not. Summoning Sickness stops a creature from attacking or using an ability with a Tap symbol as a cost. It does not stop it from being tapped by other effects, or for certain costs which require a tap, but do not use the Tap symbol (they can be used for Convoke for example) and they are certainly not destroyed if they end up tapped.
How many times can a planeswalker's abilities be used in a turn?
A Planeswalker can only use one ability per turn, and only on your own turns. Planeswalkers do not suffer from summoning sickness though, so may use an ability on the turn they are played.
How do you play magic to attack?
You "tap" (turn it sideways) a creature that isn't affected by summoning sickness during your attack phase to declare it as an attacker. Once all your attackers are declared, the defending player may assign blockers to them, then combat resolves and damage is dealt out simultaneously.

In a sense, yes. You attack once per monster. But if one of those monsters was just summoned that same turn, then you cannot attack with it due to summoning sickness which lasts for one turn after summon.
