Questions & Answers about Я часто хожу пешком до метро.
What is the difference between хожу and иду here?
Хожу is the multidirectional/habitual verb: “I walk (repeatedly, generally).”
Иду is the unidirectional/in-progress verb: “I am walking (right now), in one direction.”
With часто (often), you use хожу to express a repeated habit.
Does хожу already mean “on foot”? Why add пешком?
Yes, ходить by default means movement on foot. Пешком makes it explicit and emphasizes the manner. You can drop it: Я часто хожу до метро is still “I often walk to the metro.” Adding пешком just removes any possible ambiguity and sounds natural.
Why is it до метро and not в метро?
До means “up to/as far as (the metro),” i.e., to the station/entrance.
В метро means “into/inside the subway.” You walk до метро; if you’re entering the system, you can say иду в метро.
Can I use к метро instead of до метро?
Yes. К метро = “toward the metro,” focusing on direction and not guaranteeing arrival. До метро highlights reaching it. In everyday talk about a commute, до метро is more common.
