Description

In this lesson you can find vocabulary about travels and transport.

Explanations

If we want to say how we travel from one place to another we use the preposition BY:

- I go to work by car
- He went to Salamanca by train
- We will travel to Moscow by plane
- We went to Greece by boat

But we say: I go to work on foot  (= walking)

You get in or out of a car
- He got in the car and left.
- When we were going to Oxford I had to stop and she got out of the car because she was feeling very dizzy.

You get on/off a bicycle or public transport (public transport is a means of transport designed to carry many people)
- The hill was too steep, so I got off my bicycle and continued on foot
- Get on the bus, it's late.
- (on the bus) This is my stop, I'll get off here
- There are 1200 people on this ship
- When I'm on a plain I always fall asleep  (you can't say: I'm in a plain)
