Can I use 'go along' and 'go ahead' instead of 'walk along'

[mrwroc]

moving forward: We were just walking along, chatting.

I wonder if I can change the sentence above to the following:
1. We were just going along, chatting.
2. We were just going ahead, chatting.

If you were walking, "walking along" is best.

Where did you find the sentence? Why do you want to change it?

I created the sentence number 1. and 2. by myself.

Oxford Dictionary:
[FONT=&quot]forward[/FONT]

• I was just walking along singing to myself.
• He pointed out various landmarks as we drove along.

We can 'walk along' and 'drive along' in the meaning 'moving forward'.
I am curious if I can also use 'go along' in that meaning because according to Cambridge Dictionary:
go along
- to go to a place or event, usually without much planning
- to agree or be willing to accept something

Does it mean 'go along' can't be use in the meaning 'walk along' or 'drive along'?

What do you mean with this?

Please don't do this. We understand you have a question.

It is possible that someone would use it in that way, yes, but we would usually prefer to describe the way we were going (walking, driving, etc.), as Charlie explained above.

The phrase "going ahead of" means "going before" or "going in front of" someone else. It's correct in that context.
