| Phrase | train |
| Text | The word "train," in this podcast, means a vehicle with many cars connected together, where each car has wheels that rest on long metal strips on the ground, with a pre-defined route: "How long does it take to travel by train from Kansas City to Houston?" When talking about a wedding dress, a "train" is a very long piece of fabric that reaches from the bride's head down to the floor: "Her dress had a beautiful train, but it was so long that she couldn't even walk without help." As a verb, to "train" means to teach someone to do something: "How long did it take you to train your dog to fetch the newspaper?" Sometimes the verb also means to learn to do something: "Kristen is training to become a nurse's assistant." |
