"I go to a restaurant and eat."

Translation: 저는 식당에 가서 먹어요.

[T._S.]

if we are using "가서", shouldn't the English be more like:

"I go to a restaurant and then eat"

??

[YunisR]

That's right, but it's unnecessary in English.

[Shlomo_]

Where is the "and" in this Korean sentence?

[wintertriangles]

Adding -서 to a verb can be translated in several ways. Here it means "and," as in, "eat" follows after the action of "go"

[jlseymour3]

Is "가고" wrong? It doesn't indicate an order to the actions, which would have to come from context, but does the fact that there is an order require "- 서?"

[YunisR]

Yes 서 shows order of events

[Murakel]

Am I wrong to think it's weird using 저는/재가 with 해요체? It seems awkward lowering the speaker without also raising the listener.

[MichelleAP11]

If i translated it in formal way it should be right too

[kaiiix]

wouldnt (으)러 be better for this sentence?

[Anjella02]

I wrote 저는 식당에 먹으러 가요.
Is that wrong because here the English sentence is "go and eat" and in my sentence it is "going to eat"?

[coffeejeon]

yes while 먹으러 indicates the intention to go to the restaurant in order to eat. 먹어서 indicates the chronological order.

[jahz08]

Man i thought this was like I go to a restaurant to eat and said 저는 먹으러 식당에 가는, (I don't know if my grammar there is right haha)

[aprilmorales_]

Why is 그리고 wrong?

[deactivated user]

"저는 식당에 가서 먹어" it said this was wrong btw

[Trinity531704]

Maybe because its informal and doesn't have -요1/24/19

[Kemushi_]

Is 식당으로 wrong in this context?

[Sovushka20294]

Yes, because this is not about direction but destination when action will take place

[emiko.is.blue]

"제가 식당에 가고 먹어요" isn't accepted as of Nov 2021. If they wanted us to use -서, I wish they had used "then/so" and not "and," which made me think of -고.

DUOLINGO: This lesson is a disaster. A a lot of right answers are not accepted. Here, for instance, 저는 식당에 가고 먹어요 should be accepted.
