aller faire vs faire

When would you use the "aller faire..." format such as in "Avec mes copines, on va faire du shopping ce weekend", versus just "faire du shopping"?

Bonjour Courtney,

In French, on va faire [quelque chose] is Le Futur Proche:

On fait du shopping = We're shopping

 -> Le Présent Indicatif

On a fait du shopping = We went shopping

 -> Le Passé Composé

On va faire du shopping = We're going (to go) shopping

 -> Le Futur Proche

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
