go for/to a trip

[Lenka]

1 - go for a trip
2 - go to a trip

Which one is correct? Are they both correct? If so (or should I say "if yes"?), what is the difference between the two collocations (if there is any)?


Please, correct my English!

What do you think if I say "go on a journey"?;-)

 

[Casiopea]

Sounds great, but it's a wee bit longer than a trip. ;-)There's also, going to take a trip, from incorrect *go to take a trip.

So "a trip" is something between "a walk" and "a journey".
We say "go for a walk" "go for a trip", but we say "go on a journey" "go on holiday" "go on an excursion".
As far as I remember we say" go on a school trip''. If I'm mistaken, correct me.

Thank you for another collocation! If I was supposed to fill in a preposition (in an English test) to "go ____ a journey", maybe I wouldn't know whether ON or FOR is correct. Now, I willl know! ;-) (If I manage to keep it in my mind.)

You are not mistaken. (Are you ever? :lol

All the best. :-D

 

[Lenka]

What is the difference between "go for a trip" and "go on a trip"? Is ON used only for school trips?

Thanks! I can be be mistaken, I am not a native speaker, you know. Though I have been teaching English since the days "The Beatles" became popular.:-D
