[Grammar] go + doing something

[Kotfor]

What difference do you see between:

1) I am going for a walk. - I am going walking.
2) I am going for a jog. - I am going jogging.
3) I am going for a swim. - I am going swimming.

 

[bhaisahab]

There is no difference in meaning.

 

[Kotfor]

Can it be the case that "go for a walk" has a more close meaning to one single action of walking which is relatively shorter in time and distance than "go walking"?

 

[Kotfor]

One more question: does "Don't go trying to change me." fall out of the above mentioned category? I think it does. How would you rephrase it?

 

[MikeNewYork]

I don't see that difference between the two "walk" phrases.

 

[MikeNewYork]

I would say "Don't try to change me".
