Can a few natives give me their opinion?
A lot of people have been giving me different answers, I'm lost
I asked someone
What would be the question to this answer?
the answer: "We get off on the right side of the train" how would you formulate the question?
He said
Do we get off to the right side of the train?
Do we get off to the right of the train?
What side of the train do you get off to?
but wouldn't the correct way be
What side of the train do you get off on?
because the answer is "I get off ON the right side of the train."
or is it
"I get off TO or FROM the right side of the train."
Thank you so much
