29 mars 2022 · Mar 29, 2022. #4. Yes, it's perfectly natural to say "get a/the train" in BrE, and there's no difference in meaning between that and equivalent phrases with "take". Your first question sounds fairly normal. In theory, your second statement might also be acceptable, but we'd need some context to know whether it's the best phrasing for what you ...
24 sept. 2008 · Spanish. Nov 18, 2019. #7. " Training " and prepositions: to train in - To be better in something. "She trained in pediatrics", "I don't have any training in interior decorating". to train on - To educate someone in the use of something. "We trained him on the high diving board".
15 mars 2010 · Mar 15, 2010. #2. "Go into the train" for me insinuates brutally colliding with it. However, "I went in a train" (especially said by someone possibly excited about the new experience of being inside a carriage) sounds correct, but "to go by train" or "to go on a train" are in standard use. EDIT: Sorry I think I misread your question.
18 juil. 2009 · Senior Member. Hampshire UK. English. Jul 18, 2009. #6. I would say "I am on the train" and "I am on the bus". I would also most likely say "I got into the taxi" and "I got out of the taxi". Notice the definite article (the) each time. I am not aware of any 'rule' about this.
30 mai 2016 · PaulQ said: Choo, chug and chuff are onomatopoeic words for the sound a steam train makes. In BE, choo-choo and (less commonly) chuff-chuff are onomatopoeic words for "train" (or more specifically, the engine) - they are used when speaking to very young children and thus, by very young children. I can't think of any with a k sound in them.
15 mars 2011 · American English. Mar 15, 2011. #5. To the revised question, I've never heard of either a "direct train" or a "through train" in the U.S. An "express train" makes fewer stops than other trains and so gets to the farthest city faster. A "direct" flight (I haven't heard of a "through flight") goes from airport A to airport Z, stopping at B, C ...
31 mai 2020 · Coventry, UK. English UK Southern Standard English. May 31, 2020. #4. You need the article with "journey" because you're talking about a specific one - the one from Moscow to Beijing which takes 3 days. "Train travel" is more of a general concept and that's why it doesn't really work in the context of describing a particular instance of it.
14 déc. 2011 · Dec 14, 2011. #2. A train station (commonly station, railway station (mainly British Commonwealth) or railroad station (mainly US)) is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passenger s or freight (goods).

1 sept. 2018 · As other AE speakers have said, I wouldn't normally use journey and I have no problem with train trip. To me the word journey would be reserved for some sort of "adventure". You might journey to the Arctic or journey through the Andes but a trip to Seattle is nowhere near exotic enough to be a journey. It's just a trip.
10 mars 2019 · But in AE, only answer B is correct. "By train" is a way to travel (by car, by foot, by airplane, etc.). You can say "we travelled by train" (a method) but then you cannot say "which arrived at 6:45", because the method does not arrive at a specific time. "By train" has an identical meaning to "by railway" or "by railroad".
