Let’s be honest, sometimes English can be confusing. Sometimes when learning English it is easy to mix up words or be unsure when to use them.
I often hear German speakers who are learning English make mistakes with the words ‘to drive’ and ‘to ride’.
Take a look at the examples below. Hopefully they will make things clearer for you.
In British English we drive a car, a taxi, a bus, a lorry, a van and a train.
In British English we ride a bike, a motorbike and a horse.
E.g. He lives in New York and drives a taxi for a living.
When we moved to a new flat I drove the removal van.
E.g. I ride a bike to work every day.
He really enjoys riding around on his motorbike at the weekends.
Have fun learning English!
