Question

"Shall we go for driving in my car?" What's wrong? How can i correct it?

Answer 1

Shall we go for a drive in my car?

Answer 2

''Come babe, Sit next to me. Oh yeah, ur hot today!!!!'' thats a good way to talk to a girl.

Answer 3

lose the "for"  it's not necessary or correct

Answer 4

As others have indicated, to the American ear, "go for a drive" sounds more natural.

The problem comes from the preposition "for" before the verbal "driving."  Americans expect a noun in that position, and while "driving" can act as a gerund, it isn't routinely used as the object of a preposition.  It isn't grammatically incorrect, but is not a familiar form.

One could also say, "Shall we go driving in my car?"  Again, it would be less familiar, but grammatically sound.  As another poster said, it sounds more formal than most Americans would expect with such an offer.

Answer 5

Not knowing what type of English you use - "shall we go for a drive in my car" or "shall we go driving in my car" is correct.  

However if you wish to use "American" English, it seems a bit too formal.  A more common American vernacular would have "Do you want to go for a ride?" or even  "Want to go for a ride?"

"In my car" should be added for clarity, since you could be offering a ride on any number of things. :D

Answer 6

"shall we go for a drive in my car?" or "shall we go driving in my car?" both of these are correct i think, but use the first one because it sounds better.

similar: "shall we go for a run?" "shall we go running?" again the first one sounds better. "shall we go running?" or "shall we go driving in my car?" makes it sound like you're confused, in my opinion.

Answer 7

Shall we go for a drive in my car.

or

Shall we go driving in my car..
