Learn English – Is the sentence: “I always go to work on the car” correct

prepositions

Can we say:

I always go to work on my car.

or it should be rather:

go to work by my car

or

go to work in my car

Which one is the most correct?

Best Answer

If you sit on the roof of your car when you go to work, it's correct.

If, like the rest of us, you sit inside the car behind the steering wheel, you would say

I always go to work in my car.

When talking about modes or transport, you can use by

I always go to work by car

I always go to work by train

...note that there's no "my" here, because we are talking about a mode of transport not a particular vehicle.
