"えきで電車にのります。"

Translation: I get on a train at the train station.

[fadibanna]

I think "I get a train at the station " should be accepted here since get on a train implies the same as get a train

[NicholaGon]

Same. This was my exact answer

[JimmyHack]

Get a train is not common (US) English. It would usually be catch a train or get on a train.

[TomPiddock]

Or at least include "will" :

"I will get a train from the train station"

[StefanJobl]

hmm why is at acceptable but from not?

[JaviFontal]

駅で電車に乗ります。

[brunosouza512142]

Why use で to mark the place instead of に

[Friteuse]

As I understand it, で means “by way of“ in this case “I used the station to get a train“

[Samangulie]

で implies a temporary destination. "I'm going to the station (but don't intend to stay too long, because I'm going to catch the train"
Using に implies that once you've reached the station, your journey is done.

[Samangulie]

Perhaps because you're going to enjoy watching train? Lol
Or because there's a cafe you'll see visiting that's located at the station

[Lindsey1151188]

Because に means you're going to the station

[Ryszard466485]

で = at // に = to

[gautier206167]

I feel like に is used for destination... In this case it's starting point

[IliasIB]

Well... It would be hard if not no?

[koumori72]

で is where you are doing the activity.

[hqt]

how would i say 'i take the train to the train station' ?

[koumori72]

電車で駅に乗ります。
でんしゃでえきにのります。

[DaUsualSuspect19]

I swapped the articles and got marked wrong.
“I got on the train at a train station.”

[DanM37528]

You also changed tense "got on"

[Swisidniak]

Still want "board" to be acceptable since that's more common than "get on" and "ride"

[lang864129]

is it wrong to use "railway station"

[Steven986698]

One of the frustrations of Duolingo is having to learn US English at the same time as trying to learn Japanese

[JaceKisile]

its all about grammar

[vic.chan]

"I get on the train at a train station"
