get off / get out of the train #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:53 am   get off / get out of the train
 

Hi,

When you enter a vehicle, you might say these words below:

get in
get out of
get on
get off

I've learned that get on and get off are used for a large vehicle such as a plane or a bus or a train. However, get in is used for a small one like a taxi or a car. What about get out of? Can I use it to the large vehicles like : "You have to get out of the train at 9."?

Waiting for your answers,
sweetpumpkin

Hi. You'd generally say 'get off' the train, not 'get out of'.

How about "get out of the plane" or "get out of the ship"? Do you think it's awkward?

Yes, they sound a bit awkward also. I'm sure you could find a context where 'get out of' is more appropriate but generally you'd use get off the plane, get off the boat.
