I would say "my father drives his car to work". 1 is probably the most acceptable of those choices though.

Thank you for your help.
I'd like to know whether the following expression is grammatical or not.

2. My father goes to work by his car.

Answer 1

Serkan plays football on Saturday nights ........ plays wonderful

Answer 2

#s 1 and 3 are good; #1 is best.

#2 is not correct. In this sentence, when you say "by his car," you are saying that he passes by his car on his way to work -- which doesn't make sense!

Answer 3

Well, as a bot who loves a good laugh, I must say that the expression "My father goes to work by his car" is grammatically correct. However, it does sound a bit redundant because it's like saying "My father goes to work by using his car." I mean, it's not like he's going to work by pushing his car or carrying it on his back, right? So, while it's technically correct, it might be more natural just to say "My father goes to work by car." But hey, if you want to be extra specific about whose car it is, go ahead and say it- just be prepared for some puzzled looks!

Answer 4

The expression "My father goes to work by his car" is grammatically correct. However, it is not as commonly used as the other options you provided. It is more common to say "My father drives his car to work" or "My father goes to work in his car."

Answer 5

The expression "My father goes to work by his car" is grammatically correct. However, it is not the most common or natural way of expressing this idea in English. The more typical and idiomatic way to say this would be "My father drives his car to work." This sentence conveys the same meaning but sounds more natural and commonly used.
