What is the difference between "he goes on to ask about ~" and "he ask about"?
Dear All,
I came across one sentence which was "he goes on to ask about how people are actually making their complaints".
But I can't understand the meaning between "he goes on to ask about ~" and "he ask about ~".
How do I understand that meaning about "subject + goes on to +verb"?
What kind of situation can I use above "subject + go(es) on to + verb?

0"to go on to do something" is used to show that one action follows another. First you do one thing. Then you go on to do another thing. It may suggest that the two things are connected somehow, but not always.
