Hi there,
In terms of grammar rules which one of the following sentences is the correct one:
1. You can try to go that way.
2. You can try going that way.
Are both correct, if so, do they convey distinct meanings ?
Thanks in advance,

utxeee1. You can try to go that way.2. You can try going that way.They have different meanings for me.
#1 means that I can make the attempt to go in a certain direction. There is an implication that I may not succeed - - the way may be blocked, for example.
#2 means that I can go that way to see if I get where I wanted to be.
