The 'Uber' Rule

If you are in a car, bus, train, or even on a bike, always use 'ехать' or 'ездить'. Never 'идти' unless you are the one walking the bus!

Review Summary

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You cannot 'walk' (идти) using a vehicle. If there are wheels involved, you must use 'ехать'.

Wrong: Я иду на автобусе. (I am walking on the bus.)
सही: Я еду на автобусе. (I am going by bus.)

'Пешком' (on foot) is only used with walking verbs like 'идти' or 'ходить'.

Wrong: Я еду в парк пешком. (I am going by vehicle to the park on foot.)
सही: Я иду в парк пешком. (I am walking to the park on foot.)

For habits or repeated round-trips, use the multidirectional form (ходить) instead of the concrete, one-way form (идти).

Wrong: Каждый день я иду в школу. (Every day I am walking to school [right now].)
सही: Каждый день я хожу в школу. (Every day I go to school.)

त्वरित अभ्यास (3)

Fill in the blank with the correct form of walking (now).

Я сейчас ___ в парк. (идти)

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: иду
Since it is 'сейчас' (now) and you are likely walking to a park, use the unidirectional 'иду'.

Find and fix the mistake

Find and fix the mistake:

Я хожу в магазин сейчас.

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: Я иду в магазин сейчас.
You cannot use 'хожу' for a specific one-way trip happening 'сейчас'. Use 'иду'.

Which sentence describes a daily habit by car?

Choose the correct sentence:

✓ Correct! ✗ Not quite. Correct answer: Я езжу на работу каждый день.

Score: /3

सामान्य प्रश्न (2)

Yes, just like in English 'I am going to the store tomorrow,' you can use the present tense 'я иду' for planned future actions.
Russian has a separate pair for running: 'бежать' (now) and 'бегать' (habit). The logic is exactly the same as walking.
