Grammar

a question about plural vs singular

O.k....is this sentence correct? "Hey you guys, let's go ride bike, and then we should get some ice cream!" Now, I'm nearly 100% confident that this sentence is grammaticaly incorrect, but I would like some input from other people as to what they think is wrong with it. Any assitance from actual english teachers would be most helpful. Also, I am asking for specific grammatical rules that explain why this sentence is correct or incorrect. Thank you. - MC

It's not technically correct at all, although it is acceptable for an informal message.

Firstly, 'let's go ride bike' is American slang at its worst. The two verbs 'go' and 'ride' should be separated with 'and' - as in 'let's go and ride'.

Secondly, 'ride bike' is nonsense. You either 'ride a bike' or you 'ride bikes'. This is English Language 101. In your example, either would
