Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say *go by the subway* instead of *go by subway* when talking about the method of travel. Also, in British English, many people say *the underground* or *the tube* instead of *subway*, so learners may be confused by the different words for the same type of train system.

Karaniwang pagkakamali:

|go through the subway

|subway entrance
Mga kasingkahulugan
underpass (Very close in meaning; *underpass* can be for pedestrians or vehicles, while *subway* in this sense is only for people on foot.)
