1．by car, 乘汽车。
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 liking²，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 stereo³ tonight.
我们通常晚上看电视。但是今晚我们正在听立体声节目。
