#English #British "She is speaking with her phone" is not correct, although the same structure is used in sentences like "She is writing with her pen", "She is clapping with her hands", right?

A phone doesn't speak. You can speak with your mouth into the phone. You can speak with a friend using a phone. you can substitute 'on' for using

We'd just say: She's on the phone. It is understood that she is talking to someone on the phone. Hope this helps, Lisa! :)

She is speaking on her phone. The other sentences are correct. Also, she is writing with her pen on the paper - as an example when we use on. She is riding on her bike.

Lisa Couldn't I say just "She is riding her bike" -- without ON? Yes, you can say that, it's the usual way to say it
