    I love to travel by train or by plane. However, plane travel is more expensive so I take the train most of the time. I normally take trains for long journeys. When I went to Delhi, I took a train from Kolkata. It was a 20 hour trip. At the Delhi station, I took the bus to get to my hotel. I took either the bus or taxi to get around the city. After my trip, I took the plane to get back to Kolkota.

    I live in a small town and I normally use my car to get around. For short trips, I take the bus. There was one time when I traveled by boat. It was an awesome experience. I went to Malda and other places. I loved that trip.

    I love to travel by train and by airplane so i always prefer them to travel. But the airplane is so costly so most of the time i use train when i have to do a long journey. For a short distance journey i use the bus. Once when i went to Delhi, i took the train from Kolkata. When i reached Delhi station then i got into the bus to get to my hotel.That was really a long journey. It took almost 20 hours to get to Delhi by train.In the city i traveled everywhere either by bus or in taxi and at the end of the trip we took an airplane to get to  Kolkata. I live in a small town so in my town most of the time i use auto.But i can remember when i traveled on a boat to Malda,  another place that was really awesome, to travel to on a boat. I loved that trip.

     

    Hi Mithi, technically the verb "to reach" is fiine in all the examples you used, and English speakers often substitute the verb "to get to" instead.

    most of the time I use the train when I have to go on long journeys. (was confusing before:)

    for short distances, I use THE bus. (I go by bus=I use the bus, no need for *to go there)

    those times I went to Delhi..... or each time i went to Delhi.....

    lol, past tense, got on a bus to reach the hotel.     got=past tense so reach does not change

    took=past tense so reach does not change

    took an airplane to reach kolkata.

    a taxi, an airplane, a car

    I do not understand *malda to other place that was really awesome....*

    is that malda that was awesome, or another place... :)É

    awesome travelling on a boat
