Ex. 3 p 124 Now divide these means of transport into public and private transport.

IV. To explain preposition BY.
In this lesson we are going to familiarize with the usages of by + means of transportation. We are to know when not to use the preposition BY when we speak about means of transportation.
We use BY in many expressions to say how we do something.
Oftentimes, we use BY to say how somebody travels
For examples: by, by taxi, by plane, by train, by bicycle, by ship
Lis usually goes to work by bus.
Do you prefer travel by air or by train?
But we say ON FOOT.
Did you come here by car or on foot?
You cannot say with my car/ the train/ a taxi.
We use BY + Noun without “A/The/My”.
We also say:
By car But in my car (not by my car)
By train BUT on the train (not by the train)
Examples:
We arrived at the party by car.
We arrived at the party in our car. (not by our car)
