I want to go buy a gift.

Which parts of speech are "go" and "buy"?

I am confused about this sentence.

Best Answer

I want to go buy a gift.

"to go" and "to buy" are verbs, of course. The sentence is a shortened form of "I want to go and buy a gift/present". You could also say: I want to go (in order) to buy a present.
