（1）go用来表示参加某活动时的用法

go可以表示参加活动，比如去游泳，去钓鱼等。

常见的表达是①go s原由网wimming , go fishing

但能说成②go to swim , go to fish吗？

答案是可以的，这样的用法就是采用了to do不定式，用来强调目的、方式等。

I can go to swim with my//www.58yuanyou.com father. 我还可以和爸爸一起去游泳。（侧重去游泳的动作）

We were waiting for him to go swimming. 我们在等他去游泳。（侧重游泳活动）

Shall we go for a drink after work? 我们下班去喝一杯？
