Learn English – Go for/on a trip

prepositions

Is it preferable to say "go for a trip" or "go on a trip"? Is there a difference in meaning? My textbook says "for", but "on" seems to be more common online. Oxford Collocation Dictionary also says "on".

Best Answer

Americans would say..."go on a trip."
For example.. "Let's go on a trip." We would say..."go for a drive" or "go for a walk" but not "go for a trip."
