English grammar. Is this sentence correct? ?

Question

"We descended from the auto rickshaw." (to mean we got off the autorickshaw.)

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

The grammar in this is correct, but it is very formal and generally no one would speak like this today. You could say:

We got out of the auto rickshaw. 

We left the auto rickshaw.

Answer 3

"Got out of the rickshaw" would be better to use. An old fashioned word would be "alighted" from the rickshaw. When you use the word "descended", there is a second and quite humorous meaning. Like humans are descended from apes.

Answer 4

It’s sort of correct.  It carries the proper meaning, but “descended” is not a choice any native speaker or writer would choose. Except maybe an exotic choice of a novelist for some reason.

“We got off the auto rickshaw.” Would be the #1 choice for most people.

Other reasonable alternatives would be:

“Stepped out of”

“Got out of”

“Hopped out of”

“Exited”
