Hi,
Denominal verbs such as to knife, to bicycle, to hammer etc are said to be economical. But it seems like the frequency of denominal verbs is not that high.
For instance,
1. He went to town by bicycle.
2. He bicycled to town.
I guess No 1 is more frequently used than No 2. I wonder why.
Is there any difference between these two sentences?
Thanks
