GO + GERUND
Hello, dear classmates!
Today In this post I'm sharing with you the (GO + GERUND) usage in context, actually this topic is really useful to know because is used in simple ideas like "go shopping" or "go hiking", but also there are some interesting variations that we need to remember and be sure about how to use them in context.
An example is the following: "I have gone camping ...." as you can see it follows the same structure "go +gerund" but in a different way, because there is a variation in the verb "go"
That's why I'm sharing at the end of the post a nice web page that show us how to use this grammar structure.
And to reinforce our learning I'm sharing the following picture where you can see the simple usage of "go + gerund", that is used commonly in certain idiomatic expressions about activities.
Also I'm sharing a nice video where you will see the correct usage of "go+gerund" with different verb tenses.
This information has been really useful for my learning, because it helped me to improve my knowledge about the different ways in which we could use the structure "go+ gerund" in different context and verb tenses. Then I hope that you like the information.
Web page: HERE
Finally, Here is a little exercise in which you can practice the "go+gerund" structure.
You can share your answers in the comments.
your posts always are so good because always has very good information and lot of resources that let us understand the content faster, that is why i like your posts.
ResponderEliminarthe content about go+gerund is really important although for many learners it seems easy but in my case sometimes is quite difficult because i used to get confused using them but your post has help me a lot because i didn't have a tip that could make easier remind when to use go + gerund but now i already know that most of the time is used to talk about activities we do in free times, also i learned that the verb "go" can be used not only in simple present tense.
I just have a doubt, is it possible to say: " i am going reading" in the case that i read in my free times???
Thank you Luis!!
Hello Luis. I liked your post because it was focused on the usage of the formula go+gerund and this is a topic we are studying at class. I also liked that you mentioned the variations of "go" which in the web page it explains that it changes based on the verb tense the speaker is using. I am always expecting what you post in your blog because you are so full of good ideas and sources of information to look at. The only question I have is "Why do some activities using this formula need the word "to" at the beginning and some others don't? Bye!!!
ResponderEliminarHello Luis! Good to read you again. I like the post because the most difficult part about this topic: to change the form of "go".
ResponderEliminarBefore leaving I have a question, can we use another verb instead of "go" without changing the meaning of the sentence?
Hello Luis:)
ResponderEliminarExcellent job friend! I enjoyed a lot read your blog because you explain very well and also you have shared a very nice information:) Before to read I had some problems with that, because I used confuse that, but now I have understand very well, thanks to you!
But just a doubt, I really interested the example "I have gone camping", because I don't know what is the structure for that since you use a verb in participle and a gerund :o It is really nice and I would like that you explain me that! <3
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
