Hi. How could we know clearly when to use "this way" or "in this way" for the kinds (?) of sentences that contain the following phrases (see the example phrases below)? I feel in some sentential contexts, the phrases "this way" and "in this way" are interchangeable, with the same meaning.
(example phrases)
do (it) this way/in this way
present (it) this way/in this way
Top answer
I find them interchangeable in any context I can imagine offhand (in which 'way' means 'manner').
