I'm not sure is this question is entirely fair. Although the answer would be the most accepted one, "have one more go" is almost an idiom since go wouldn't be used in place of try except i n the instance of saying something like the phrase above. Maybe I'm answering out of context, is that a test on somewhat improper but commonly used English phrases?

Jerome, it is the most regularly used form in England.

Have a go = Make an attempt.

Dear tutor,
I really don't understand the meaning and grammar stucture of this question " I will have one more go and then". Is it a idiom? What does this mean and in which context is it used? Any similar sentences or same grammar stuture?
I am looking forward to your reply!

"I will have one more go and then..." is an unfinished sentence.

Also, your question has a few errors in it. Here are my corrections:

I'll have one more go = I'll try once more

I'll have one more go at this puzzle and if I can't do it, I'll give up.
I can't get this bolt off. I'll have one more go then I'll have to call someone in.
You missed the target. Would you like to have one more go?
Mum told the children, "You can have one more go on the roller-coaster before we have to leave."

Is it the following sentence correct? I will have one more go in my learning English, otherwise I will give up my attempts to learning such lungage. Thanks.
