A car is a road vehicle that carries people.
The idea
Use a car for one vehicle, cars for more than one, and by car for the means of travel.
Examples
- Our car is blue.
- I go to work by car.
- The car is near the door.
- Two cars are in the street.
- My friend has a small car.
- We wash the car on Sunday.
