Hello,

Can you help me please?
I have a question below:
I can take the train there.
I can take the train to get here.
Are they both correct? if so, what is the difference between them?
Thank you.

Yes, they are both correct.

Hello

I can take the train there.

This can also mean "Once I get to another place, I can take the train once I get there."

Hello Sabrina,
The first phrase is correct.
I wouldn't use "I can take the train to get here." unless I was looking at a map and pointing to a specific location, or if I added the word "back" or "return".
"I can take the train to get back here." "I can take the train to return here."
However, you can use "YOU can take the train to get here (where I am)."
Have a great day !
