Correct or wrong? The use of "by there"
My coworker is wondering that the word of the sentence "When you visit foreign country in the future, you will surely be warmly welcomed by there." She wants to know if this "by there" use is correct or wrong. She says she never heard of it before. After by in the passive sentence, she thinks nouns should come and if it is correct to erase the by in this sentence. Native speakers use " by there" phrase often? Please answer me!

' The use of 'by there' is incorrect in this situation because you are referring to the foreign country itself. You could say 'by the time you get there', because you are refering to the time you get there. We dont use the phrase 'by there' often.
