Chinese grammar:Using the verb "qu"去:go

The verb 去 means "to go," and is an easy way to talk about going to places.

Structure
With just a Place. Notice that you don’t need a word to express "to."
 Subject + 去 + Place

Examples:

Wǒ qù xuéxiào.
 我 去 学校。
I go to school.

You can also use 去 to ask questions. When answering a question that uses 去 you don’t need anything following it. However, it’s important to note that you cannot just use 去 when there is no context.

Nǐ qù nǎ’ér ?

你 去 哪儿?

wher are you going?

With a Verb
The ‘place’ can also be some sort of action. The sentence then means "Going to do (something)".
Subject +  去 + Verb

Examples:

Wǒ qù ɡōnɡzuò.
我 去 工作。
I’m going to work.
