Hello everyone!
For today’s mini lesson, let’s talk about how to use ‘by’ and ‘with’ to say how something is done.
We can use both ‘by + verb+ing’ and ‘with + noun’ to explain how we do something.
BY
We usually use verb+ing with ‘by’. ‘By’ is used with an action.
Examples:
• He opened the box by hitting it.
• I’m going to pass the exam by studying hard.
• They got into the room by climbing in the window.
WITH
We usually use ‘with + noun’ when we’re talking about the tool or thing that we use to get the result.
Examples:
• He opened the box with a hammer.
• She cut the bread with a knife.
• He grabbed the rope with his hand.
