Question

What is the difference between:

1. I often go for walk
2. I often go walking
3. I often go to walk.

Are these three phrases correct?

Answer 1

Corrections:
1. I often go for A walk.
2. I often go walking. (Correct.)
3. I often go to walk. (Might be correct, depending on use and intent.)

1 and 2 have the same meaning. 3, depending on it's useage, might mean that you often go somewhere for the purpose of walking. You might go to a park to walk, for example. If asked why you go to the park so often, you could answer with this phrase. Technically, 2 is the most correct. 3, depending on how you want to use it, is the next most correct. And 1 needs to have "a" inserted where I've put the capital in my examples at the beginning.

Answer 2

Number 1 requires an a, I often go for a walk. Number 2 is fine and pretty much says the same thing as 1. Number 3 is awkward because of the use of to. It requires another word like, I often go out to walk.
Number 2 is correct useage.

Answer 3

These should read:
1. I often go for a walk
2. I often go walking
3. Not correct

Answer 4

2 and 3 are ok. Number 1 would probably not be considered acceptable. Number 2 is a way of saying that you do something, so the walking is a past tense verb. Number 3 is a way of saying that you do things in the past and possibly in the future.

Answer 5

The first one is the most questionable, as it doesn't specify whether you accomplish what you "go for". When used as a verb in this context, the word "go" doesn't have meaning. The third phrase has a similar flaw, as it doesn't indicate whether you actually accomplish the act of walking. I think the second phrase best communicates your intent.

Answer 6

as a non native english speaker, I would say that only the second one is corrrect.
