+1 translation needs to be changed to "go through", although what if it was a junction, then go out might be better?!

Still say's goes out at the moment.

你为什么不坐飞机去北京?Why didn't you take an airplane to Beijing? 1 (Why didn't you take an airplane to Beijing?)

他为什么不跟我们一起去吃饭?Why doesn't he go eat with us? 1 (Why doesn't he go eat with us?)

I'm confused a little... the construction of these two sentences seems to be the same... but the top one refers to past tense and the bottom a future event. What have I missed here to understand this? Thanks all.

true, but clearly everyone was talking about basic learning and using simplified characters so to switch into traditional is a bit unneccesary. I'm not surprised you replied to this.

yes but answering in traditional characters is not great for someone at ellie level! not sure I see the point in doing that really except to show-off?
