3 de sept. de 2010 · With the train=teach meaning, "in" is used with methods and techniques, essentially abstract concepts. However, if a new machine has been installed and workers need to be trained how to use it, they are trained "on the new machine".

15 de mar. de 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.
10 de mar. de 2019 · But in AE, only answer B is correct. "By train" is a way to travel (by car, by foot, by airplane, etc.).

30 de may. de 2016 · PaulQ said: Choo, chug and chuff are onomatopoeic words for the sound a steam train makes.

We agree that it is never, ever "change the train (s)," with an article, and, as a passenger, you never, ever "interchange trains." E.
22 de dic. de 2009 · For example, if I'm talking about a train that leaves EVERY day at 6:00 (the regularly scheduled 6:00 train), I'd say "The train leaves at 6:00." "The train is leaving at 6:00" refers to a single train, which will depart at a future time. "The train is going to leave at 6:00" could be an affirmation that, YES, the train WILL depart at 6:00. I ...
25 de oct. de 2018 · "Run a train" is a wholly different phrase and to my knowledge specifically describes intercourse between one female and multiple male partners in a single session.. Be very wary of Urban Dictionary. One rule of thumb: The longer the definition, the more you should be suspicious of it. Look at the average dictionary and its usually very brief ...

16 de abr. de 2017 · To me, the first one implies a more specific situation. You already have your tickets or you already know the exact train you're planning to take. The second one could mean that, too, but not necessarily. It could mean you have an intention to go someplace, but haven't made plans for a specific train. You need to do that now. Yes, that's ...
