aller faire vs faire

Courtney S.A1Kwiziq community member

When would you use the "aller faire..." format such as in "Avec mes copines, on va faire du shopping ce weekend", versus just "faire du shopping"?

Bonjour Courtney,

In French, on va faire [quelque chose] is Le Futur Proche:

On fait du shopping = We're shopping

On a fait du shopping = We went shopping

On va faire du shopping = We're going (to go) shopping

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
