Learn Vocabulary from the lesson
take the train
I take the train every day.
When you 'take the train' somewhere you use it to travel from one place to another. Notice the following:
I used to drive, but now I take the train to work.
Do you take the train frequently?

Do you mind taking the train every day?
We can ask the question 'Do you mind?' to see if a person hates doing something. Notice the following:
Do you mind driving long distances?
He doesn't mind waking up early.
get on
What's the train like in the morning when you get on?
To 'get on' a train is to go inside it to travel. We use this phrasal verb for planes, trains, buses, motorcycles and bicycles. Notice the following:
Get on my motorcycle, I'll give you a ride home.
You can get on the plane in fifteen more minutes.
get a seat
Do you normally get a seat?
When there are seats available to sit down it means that you can 'get a seat.' If you don't get a seat you have to stand. Notice the following:

You have to get to the class early to get a good seat.
get sick
I get sick if I read a book in the train.
If we begin to feel like we are going to vomit or have a headache from doing something then we 'get sick' from doing this action. Notice the following:
If you eat a lot of chocolate you will get sick.
If I go on rides at the amusement park I always get sick.
