Hello,
I'd like to find out what prepositions should be used when talking about some means of 'transport'. I've made up a couple of sentences; not all of them may sound good because of the verb, but my main focus is on prepositions.
I'd be grateful if somebody could have a look at them.
1. We went there on rollerblades (not by?)
2. We flew there by balloon.
3. We went there on skateboard (not by?)
4. We went there by rikshaw.
5. We got there on stilts (not by?)
6. We got there by canoe / kayak.
7. We got there on a raft (not by raft?)
8. In the future people will travel by spaceship.
9. We went there by horse (maybe 'on horseback'?)
10. We got there by dog sled.
11. We got there by camel / donkey (maybe 'on a camel'? )
Thank you!
