Questions & Answers about ลูก ไป วิ่ง ใน สวน ใหญ่ ครับ

Why is there no word for "to" in ไป วิ่ง (go to run)?
In Thai, when you go somewhere for a specific purpose, you just chain the verbs together! You put ไป (go) directly before the action you want to do. So ไป + วิ่ง (run) becomes "go to run". No extra connecting words are needed.
Does ลูก mean any child playing in the park?
Usually, no. ลูก specifically means offspring (someone's son or daughter). If you wanted to talk about a random child in the park, you would normally use the word เด็ก instead.
Why are the words in the order สวน ใหญ่ instead of ใหญ่ สวน?
In Thai, adjectives always come after the noun they describe. Instead of saying "big park", you say the noun first, followed by the description: "park big" (สวน = park, ใหญ่ = big).
How do we know this means "is going to run" rather than "went to run"?
Thai verbs don't change their form to show past, present, or future times. The phrase ไป วิ่ง can mean "goes to run", "is going to run", or "went to run" depending entirely on the context of the conversation.
