Notes
GENERAL INFO
Un train is a masculine noun. It primarily means "a train" (the railway vehicle). It can also mean "pace" or "rhythm."
USAGE
You can "prendre le train" (take the train) or "voyager en train" (travel by train). A very common phrase is "être en train de faire quelque chose" (to be in the process of doing something).
TRAPS
Do not confuse "le train" with the English verb "to train" (to exercise or educate). The French verb for "to train" (oneself) is "s'entraîner". "Un entraînement" is a training session.
