In sentences like
2時ごろ子どもを迎えに行きます。I will go to meet/greet my child around 2 O'clock.
Is the sentence structure of verb(Stem form)に行く/来る/帰る, ever strictly necessary? Or following the example, would
2時ごろ子どもを迎えます。I will meet/greet my child around 2 O'clock.
be sufficient. In other words, is the fact that you will go somewhere to do this action already implied (in some cases).
Another example:
来月旅行に行きます。I will go travel next month. VS. 来月旅行します。I will travel next month.
Aside: I can see how in examples like
映画を見に行きたいです。I want to go see a film.
The format it's written in would be useful, as the emphasis is placed on the fact that you wish to go somewhere to see a film, not simply that you want to watch a film.
Thank you for, any and all, help! Much appreciated!
