What adventures would you like to go on in the future?
I'd like to travel in Africa by myself.

 

Explanation:

  • "I'd like": This is a contraction for "I would like," which expresses a desire or wish.
  • "to travel in Africa": This phrase indicates your intention to travel specifically within Africa.
  • "by myself": This phrase emphasizes that you wish to travel alone.

If you want to rephrase it for variety, you could say:

  • "I would like to travel solo in Africa."
  • "I want to explore Africa on my own."



Why is the word "on" used in this sentence?
In the phrase "travel on" (as in "go on an adventure"), the word "on" is part of a phrasal verb that indicates engagement in an activity. However, in your original sentence, "I'd like to travel in Africa by myself," the word "on" is not present.

If you're referring to a sentence like "What adventures would you like to go on in the future?", here's how "on" functions:


 

  • Part of a Phrasal Verb: In the phrase "go on," the word "on" is used to indicate the continuation or progression of an action or activity. It suggests actively participating in or experiencing something.
  • Usage in Context: "Go on an adventure" means to engage in an adventure, implying movement or action.

So, while "on" is not in your sentence about traveling in Africa, it is used in other contexts to convey a sense of engagement with activities.
