Can we say..................?
We can pay things by debit card.
Sorry for asking many questions as this sentence ( the one in the first post ) was in a formal test.
There were many sentences and students were asked to find the mistakes in these sentences.
According to what you said there are no mistakes in this sentence.

If I suppose there is a mistake in the first sentence ( We can buy things by debit card .) Can the mistake be in ( debit card ) and the correction would be ( credit card ). What is your view point as according to the instructions given for this sentence, there should be a mistake in it.

Here is the definition of 'debit card':

A debit card (also known as a bank card or check card) is a plastic payment card that can be used instead of cash when making purchases. It is similar to a credit card, but unlike a credit card, the money comes directly from the user's bank account when using a debit card.

I still think the original sentence is correct.

Mister MicawberI still think the original sentence is correct.
It is. We buy things, but we pay for things.

I buy things with a debit card more than I buy them by a debit card or through a debit card.

It's cheaper that way. Emotion: big smile

Sorry CJ for asking the same question twice, but I only did that when I found some one answered my question then deleted his or her answer. It appeared on my account that there was a reply. I tried to open it but it didn't. For this reason only I wrote my second post . My apology.
