On and along
Thanks for responding to my post.
1) The car is moving along the road.
2) He is walking on the footpath.
I know both the sentences are correct but why is here 'on' after 'walking' and 'along' after 'moving'? Is it because of the nouns 'the road' and 'the footpath' or the verbs 'moving' and 'walking'?
