下去 — how to use it in Chinese

下去 has two main uses: (1) physical movement downward away from the speaker: 走下去 (walk down away from here); (2) a very common extended use indicating the continuation of an action, equivalent to "keep doing, continue": 坚持下去 (keep persevering), 说下去 (keep talking). In this second use it expresses persistence rather than physical direction.
