Hi.
She goes shopping every Sunday.
What's the form and function of the underlined part?
Common dictionaries identify it as an uncountable noun.
And, to me, its function would be the complement of the verb 'goes'.
But what about 'there' in the following sentence?
She goes 'there' every Sunday.

Go + gerund (complement) means to go somewhere and do that activity. Let's go fishing. He's gone hunting.
