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:
