We often use way ( = method) in expressions without a preposition.

• You're doing it (in) the wrong way
• You put in the cassette this way
• Do it any way you like.

In relative structures, we often use the way that . . .

• I don't like the way (that) you 're doing it.

After way, we can use an infinitive structure or of . . . -ing. There is no important difference between the two structures.

If something is in the way, it stops you getting where you want to go.

• We'll have lunch on the way. Spring is on the way
