(10:33)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. And today we are going to practice "by." Now the basic image of "by" is very simple. It's near. In fact, it's very near. So, closeness is the key, right? ...very near. With that in mind, let's practice.
(10:50)
R: And remember to think only in English.
C: OK, here we go, "by the bus stop"
"by my office"
"by the post office"
R: Here are a few more, "This book was written by a famous novelist."
Let's try that one more time, "This book was written by a famous novelist."
(11:25)
"I like songs by this singer."
And once more, "I like songs by this singer."
(11:38)
C: OK, so the image of closeness is there, right, Roza?
R: That's right.
C: Here is the song and here is the singer. Last group, "Time goes by fast."
"pass by"
"drive by"
"drop by"
"come by"

Today we are going to look at the variety of uses of "by" that stem from the basic image of closeness. OK?
(variety of uses 多種多様の用途)
(stem from ～から生じる、～から起こる、～が原因である、～に由来する)
(9:46)
R: Remember to practice in English and you can practice by yourself or with a friend.
C: OK, let's go, "I'll be there by six."
"I'll be there by six."
(10:05)

R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here. Are you excited for today's lesson? I am.
C: Hi guys, Chris McVay here. Of course, Roza, we get excited every time we talk about or play table tennis. Let's do it again.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:13)
C: Hi guys, it's practice time. Now, you all know very well by now that the basic image of "by" is closeness. And this naturally leads to the meaning of "how," the way something is done or the degree. So, let's practice many examples expressing this.
R: And remember, let's think in English.
C: That's right. Here we go, "went there by car"
"went there by train"
"went there by bus"
(10:49)
How did you go there? By car, by train, by bus, there you have it.
"wrote a letter by hand"
And one more, "came in by the back door"
(There you have it. ほら、そうでしょう ／ ほら、ありましたね)
R: Continuing on, "by chance"
"by accident"
"by mistake"
C: OK, here is a couple of more, "sell pencils by the dozen"

R: And one more section with me guys. Ready? Keep on repeating, "This is his most popular book by far."
"won by a neck"
"won by a nose"
"won by a large margin"
"won by a narrow margin"
"raise production by 20%"

Get some nice rhythm here, パンパンパン, side by side. OK? With that rhythm, let's try after me, "They were walking side by side."
