Jag har gått och tänkt på det hela dagen.

English Translation

I’ve been thinking about it the entire day.

Is “gå” really necessary here? Can’t figure out what it is adding to the sentence. Tack

[morbrorper]

“Gå och” is the Swedish equivalent to the English ing-form. You can replace “gått” with “suttit”, "stått, “legat”, etc., depending on circumstances.
