One area of English that often causes problems for learners is prepositions.
Below are some examples of prepositions we use when travelling.
We travel on foot but by car, by train, by plane, by bus, by tram, by taxi, by bike.
E.g. It won’t take me long to get there. It’s only 10 minutes on foot from here.
We are travelling by train to the conference.
He travelled more than 30 km by bike to get there.
We sit in a car and in a taxi but on a train, on a bus, on a plane, on a tram, on a bike.
E.g. We are in the taxi at the moment. We’ll be with you shortly.
We are on the train at the moment. We’ll be with you shortly.
We had good seats on the plane with plenty of legroom.
Have fun learning English!
