Aller travailler or aller au travail

Aller travailler or aller au travail

In the first sentence, "to go to work" is given as "pour aller travailler". I put "pour aller au travail", which was not provided as an alternative. I've seen the second approach used, so I'm wondering if it's considered wrong, or just not included in this exercise.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "A better commute"

Bonjour Philip,

The expression 'aller au travail' is a bit more casual than 'aller travailler', but it would be fine as an alternative.

Bonne Continuation !
