"the way" or "in the way"
Is it correct to say 'the way' when you mean 'in the way' as an adverb-like phrase? And is there a different between the proper English and slang among native speakers?
E.g.
- They do not present it in the way it really is.
- They do not present in the way it really is.
E.g.
- They do not present it in the way it really is.
- They do not present in the way it really is.
