Go check it?

There are times when I see "Go check it" on some websites.
But "Go" and "check" are verbs, aren't they?
Why can they be put together?

And if there is something should be put between them,
it should be "go to check it" or "go and check it"? Why?

Hi, It's an idiomatic way of speaking. eg Go check dinner - is an order. eg I have to go check dinner.

  • The 'go' serves little purpose.
  • It's like 'go and check', but the 'and' is commonly omitted.
