(Are the four sentences all grammatical? Which one is commonly used?)

Both 1 and 2 are correct.
All of the next 4 sentences are also correct. The most common ones are 4 and 5.
========================
Thank you for your help.
1. She is going to go for a walk.
2. She is going to go on a walk.
3. She is going to go for a drive.
4. She is going to go on a drive.
5. She is going to go for a swim.
6. She is going to go on a swim.
(Is each pair the same and commonly used?)
All are correct, yes. The prepositions seem to be interchangeable.
In those last six sentences, though, I'd leave out "to go" -- that infinitive is redundant.
Both sentences in each pair are grammatically correct, but one option is more commonly used than the other in each pair.
1. The more common and idiomatic expression is "She is going to go for a walk."
2. Although "She is going to go on a walk" is grammatically correct, it is less commonly used compared to the first option.
3. The more common and idiomatic expression is "She is going to go for a drive."
4. Similar to the previous pair, "She is going to go on a drive" is grammatically correct but less commonly used.
5. The more common and idiomatic expression is "She is going to go for a swim."
6. Again, "She is going to go on a swim" is grammatically correct but less commonly used.
Overall, the "go for" structure is more commonly used with activities like walking, driving, and swimming. However, it doesn't mean that "go on" is grammatically incorrect, it's just less commonly used in these specific contexts.
