When learning English, certain verbs can feel like they pop up everywhere. One of these is the simple yet incredibly versatile verb “go.” Whether you’re talking about traveling, making plans, or describing your daily activities, “go” is a word you’ll use constantly. But did you know that its meaning can change based on the words that follow it?

In this post, we’ll break down four common ways to use “go”:

“Go to” for places
“Go on” for experiences and trips
“Go for” specific activities
“Go + ING” for hobbies and sports

We’ll explain each of these uses with practical examples and tips, so you can confidently incorporate them into your everyday conversations. Let’s get started and discover how mastering these expressions can make you sound more fluent in English!

THE VERB GO (TO/ON/FOR /ING)

 

1. Go to + [Place]

“Go to” is used when you want to say that you are moving from one place to another.

Structure:
Go to + [place]

Examples:

I go to school every day.
She went to the supermarket to buy some groceries.
Are you going to the party this weekend?

Important Note: We always use “go to” with most places. However, we do not use “to” with the words “home” and “downtown”:

I’m going home now (NOT “going to home”).
Let’s go downtown to see the Christmas lights (NOT “go to downtown”).

2. Go on + [a holiday/trip/tour/cruise/strike]

Use “go on” when you are talking about experiences or activities, especially when you travel, go on vacations, or participate in organized events.

Structure:
Go on + [holiday/trip/tour/cruise/strike]

Examples:

We are planning to go on a holiday to Mexico next month.
Did you go on a tour of the museum when you visited Paris?

The workers decided to go on strike for better wages.

3. Go for + [a walk/run/swim/drink/meal]

“Go for” is used when you want to describe going somewhere to do a specific activity, especially for leisure or exercise.

Structure:
Go for + [a walk/run/swim/drink/meal]

Examples:

Let’s go for a walk in the park after lunch.
I usually go for a run in the mornings to stay healthy.
Do you want to go for a drink after work?
We should go for a meal at that new Italian restaurant.
Tip: Notice that with “go for”, we often talk about activities where we leave our current location to do something specific.

4. Go + ING (activities)

When you combine “go” with a verb in its -ING form, it usually refers to sports or activities. This construction is very common when talking about hobbies or outdoor activities.

Structure:
Go + [verb + ING]

Examples:

I love to go shopping on the weekends.
We went swimming in the lake yesterday.
They often go fishing during the summer.
My family and I will go skiing in the mountains this winter.
Note: This use of “go” + ING is very typical for activities that involve moving from one place to another. It can be physical activities (like swimming or jogging) or leisure activities (like shopping).
