Is there a rule that explains when to use « de » versus « par » to mean « by » in English?  Thanks. Last of my questions.

I find that if you could use “with” instead of “by” it points to “de” jn place of “par”. It’s not a 100% rule but gets you started.

Thanks.  I always understand the meaning when I hear "de" or "par" but it's more difficult when speaking or writing to make the right choice.
