در بخش گرامر مثلاً نوشته برای bus از فعل take استفاده میشه. حالا میشه به جای این فعل در جمله از فعل go یا رفتن استفاده کنیم و قبل از bus از حرف اضافه ی by استفاده کنیم؟ 

"I take a bus." or "I go to work by bus"

و اگه بخوایم بگیم پیاده میرم میشه به جای walk از foot استفاده کنیم؟

I walk to school.

I go to school on foot.

دقیقاً همینطوره و همه ی جملات شما صحیحه. این درس یکی از 200 درس دوره ی آموزشی Four Corners هست که شما رو با روش های رفت و آمد آشنا میکنه. طبیعتاً جورهای دیگه هم میشه این جملات رو بیان کرد.  طبیعتاً شما این فرم ها رو در درس های دیگه خواهید دید. همونطور که در فارسی میگیم: 

  • با اتوبوس رفتم.
  • اتوبوس گرفتم.
  • از اتوبوس استفاده کردم.
  • پیاده رفتم.
  • راه رفتم.
  • با پاهام رفتم!

و شاید فرم های دیگه که به ذهن من نمیاد، در انگلیسی هم برای بیان هر function یا کاربرد، فرم های مختلفی وجود داره. بخش function و form سایت با نام کاربرد های زبان در حال تکمیل شدن هست که میتونید از اون طریق متوجه بشید که مثلاً برای موافقت یا مخالفت کردن چه جمله هایی به کار میره.  دیکشنری Longman Activator یک مرجع عالی برای سوال شماست. این دیکشنری  در مورد فعل هایی که برای جابه جا شدن به کار میره میگه:
