(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-09-17)

I have heard 一直走(*Yīzhí*) and 往前(*wǎng qián*)走, but it seems the online translators prefer 一直往前走(*Yīzhí wǎng qián zǒu*) or 一直向(*xiàng*)前走 (if we're going forward)...

From the above which are the most commonly used and in which contexts? And how many other ways can we get the same meaning (even replacing 走 by other verb)?
