　　by(乘坐)表示"乘坐(某种交通工具)"，但它必须与动词连用。表交通工具的名词前不加冠词：

　　by boat 乘船

　　by bus 乘公共汽车

　　by plane 乘飞机

　　by sea 乘船

　　2.on foot, 步行。

　　语法 Grammar in use

　　一般现在时与现在进行时

　　一般现在时表示一般的动作或不断重复发生的动作;现在进行时表示说话时正在发生的动作，动作还没有完成。简单图示如下：

　　一般现在时表示永久的情况;进行时表示暂时的情况。

　　进行时只用于表示动作或偶尔发生的事件(We are eating, it is raining等等)。有些动词(如 like, want, know等)不是动作动词，因此不能用进行时态，如不能说 I am knowing或We are liking，而只能说 I know或 We like。

　　一般现在时表达某个习惯性动作，通常与时间频度副词连用，如 usually, always, often, sometimes, never等;现在进行时表示此时此刻正在进行的动作，一般与 now, at the moment, today, this afternoon, this evening, tonight等连用。

　　We usually watch television at night. But we are listening to the stereo tonight.

　　我们通常晚上看电视。但是今晚我们正在听立体声节目。
