Названия средств передвижения, такие, как boat, ship, tram, bus в сочетании с глаголами to go, to come, to travel употребляются без артикля: to go (to travel) by boat, to go by train (by bus, by ship). Это же верно и по отношению к названиям способов и среды передвижения: to go by sea, by air, by land. (2.) В сочетаниях с глаголами to take, to catch эти существительные употребляются с неопределенным артиклем: to take a bus (boat, train). Определенный артикль the употребляется при наличии конкретизирующего определения: to catch the eight o'clock boat успеть на восьмичасовой катер, а с описательным определением употребляется неопределенный артикль: to take an early/later boat поехать ранним/поздним катером. (3.) Глаголы to get on и to get off требуют употребления определенного артикля перед названием транспортного средства: help the woman to get off the boat (bus) помогите женщине выйти из лодки (сойти с автобуса). -
