Grammar check

[hamming_burst]

Hi,

I wrote my problem of language English in an old thread. I ask you to help me in learning this language. I'm studying reading, listening and writing now, but Grammar is problem. Can you check a few exercises and answer a few questions on (simple) grammar?

thanks a lot


PS: be patient and strict.

Hi Luca,
thank you for answer.

No, you haven't got it.

I don't propose a mathematical exercise in english, but english exercise/simple grammar exercise for now.
Example, from my exercise book:

Insert a or an if necessary, _ otherwise

If you go by _ train you can have quite a comfortable journey, but make sure yet get an express, not a train that stops at all the station.

It is compile and correct, but I have a question: why is it correct insert 'a' in case not a train and not by a train? What is the difference? uncountable noun?

"Luca":Just a question: are you planning to have a book where to study or just some practice and conversation with advanced people?

I use a few books for pre-intermediate/Intermediate student:

Hi hamming_burst, I'm happy you're trying to go through the English language; your attempt to improve your grammar skills is not the first one I see on this site.
