In fact my point is the sentence"lET'S GO FIND ZINI".In this sentence the verb "go" is directly followed by another verb"find" without plus a "to" ahead of the second verb like in"go to work" or plus "ing" like in "go swimming"...

 

Why shouldn't I say"go work"or "go swim" or "Let's go to find Zini"

So is this usage(Verb+Verb) common in English? I want to learn more about this grammatical phenomeon. I googled but couldn't get any hint about it….

see what I mean?
