Neither is natural English. "He likes to walk along the street."
By the way, I get 0 Google hits for "He likes to walk in streets" and 1 hit for "He likes to walk on streets". What string are you actually searching for, and are you enclosing them in quotes? Are any of your hits from native English sites?
Exactly. Please don't use Google to justify phrases you haven't even looked up! It's bad enough when people justify using phrases that they do find on Google simply because they are on Google.2,110,000 hits for "in streets"
4,150,000 hits for "on streets"
"Along the street" sounds like "along a particular street and no other street that he will walk in." But what the author wanted to express is that "he likes to walk along any street that his feet lead him."
I'd qualify that. You should be able to use it negatively, ie. the fact that "He likes to walk in streets" receives 0 hits means it might not be a good English phrase/sentence, but even that is not reliable. You can also start with a phrase like "in the streets", and then check good native English sites, such as .gov. edu. etc. where you're more likely to get good native English. But a pure positive count with no further research means nothing.Absolutely agree with Raymott. You will not find that google helps you to learn English.
