"I want to go swimming tomorrow evening."

Translation: 明天晚上我想去游泳。

[dstillma]

Is the 去 necessary?

[Keith_APP]

Just the difference between "want to go swimming" and "want to swim", no substantial difference.

[RobinThor]

Then 我明天晚上想游泳 should be accepted?

[Keith_APP]

Well, it would be to swim, not to go swimming, XD

[green-sequoia]

Yes

[Mtyx.]

Please sort out the 要 and 想 discrepancy. Both should be accepted.

[green-sequoia]

Mingtian wanshang can be placed anywhere in the sentence

[MelvinBret]

No. Just right before or right after 我。

[jamesjiao]

It can also be placed between 我想 and 去.

[AsirAjmal]

No. First or right after 我。

[ApolloK]

Not anywhere, not at the end - it's just verbally weird when placed at the end.

In English there is a difference in emphasis depending on where you put the time word. "I want to go swimming tomorrow" reflects that the swimming may happen tomorrow but the wanting happens now. Is that something that can be expressed in Chinese?

[Keith_APP]

Do you mean the wanting happens in the future?
I think in Chinese it can be said literally, such as 我明天晚上想去游泳, but the literal meaning is as strange as I will want to go swimming tomorrow evening. Usually that would be interpreted as wanting now too, although arguably not the correct syntax.

[JacquiBarn1]

Can someone please help me figure out the difference between "游泳游" and "游泳"?
The previous sentence to this used the former, while this one uses the latter - I am struggling

[NathanRasm]

游泳 is the basic verb-object form "to swim a swim." You repeat 游 when you need to modify it with 得.
