Hi Blackiana, Welcome to English Forums. The answer to your question is no , because 'study' is not an activity that includes the idea of some sort of movement. These are OK: Let's go skiing.

Hi Blackiana,

Welcome to English Forums.

The answer to your question is no, because 'study' is not an activity that includes the idea of some sort of movement.


These are OK:

Let's go skiing.
Let's go driving.
Let's go shopping.

Like your case:

Let's go (and/to) study.
Let's go (and/to) eat.
Let's go (and/to

When an example includes words separated by a slash mark like this-- 'and/to'-- it means that either word can be used.

When the word or words is enclosed in parentheses like this-- (and/to)-- it means that the word or words are optional.

Therefore, in my example, 'Let's go (and/to) study', you have three correct choices:

Let's go study.
Let's go and study.
