易错句子Please send the documents with post.
正确表达Please send the documents by post.
表示“通过邮政”时,英语用固定短语 by post,方式介词只能是 by;with 表示“用某种工具或材料”(如 with a pen),不能与 post 搭配,所以 with post 不合英语习惯,应改为 by post。

易错句子I returned the form by the post.
正确表达I returned the form by post.
by post 是固定的方式状语短语,和 by car、by email、by phone 一样,其中名词前不加冠词;加 the 会变成特指某一份邮件或某个邮局,失去“通过邮政寄送”这一泛指的方式含义,因此要去掉 the。
火速地;急速地
She rode post-haste to warn the village.
她火速骑马去警告村民。
骑马兼程;乘驿马疾行
The messenger rode post through the night.
信使连夜骑马兼程赶路。
乘驿马兼程旅行
In those days officials travelled post between the towns.
那时候官员们乘驿马在城镇之间兼程赶路。
