What The Textbook Says

For some reason, English textbooks often teach an unnatural expression.

I’m not an expert with British English, but today’s advice is about American English.

Do you use these expressions?

I go to school on foot.

I go to my grandmother’s house by car.

It takes five hours by train to get there.

Normally they don’t say “on foot, by bus, by car, by train” in daily life!

They say:

I walk to school. (VS “I go on foot”)

I take the bus to work. (VS “I go by bus”)

We usually take the car to get to my grandmother’s house. (VS “We go by car”)

I like taking the train to get around because it’s faster than the bus. (VS “I like going by train”)

We flew to the west coast of the US because it’s so far away. (VS “We went by plane”)

It takes five hours on the train to get there. (VS “We go by train”)
