Common mistakes
I go to work by motorbus every day.I go to work by bus every day.
英语中，'by'加交通方式时通常使用无冠词的交通工具名词，但'motorbus'并非此固定搭配，'bus'才是常用词。因此应将'motorbus'改为'bus'。
He rides a motorbus to school.He rides a motorcycle to school.
'motorbus'意为公共汽车，而'motorcycle'意为摩托车。动词'ride'通常与摩托车搭配，公共汽车应用'take'或'drive'。此句混淆了两个不同概念。
I motorbus to the station every morning.I take the bus to the station every morning.
'motorbus'是名词，不能用作动词。英语中表示乘坐公共汽车应用动词短语'take the bus'。
