I wish - I'd like to time travel forward to a point where I can already speak Russian and don't have to spend all my time learning it
These don't sound very natural to me If you're waiting for the train, you say Поезд пришел. If you're watching it in motion you say Поезд едет/проехал/уехал/etc. You can certainly use ехать about other vehicles than cars, just not vice versa.Radioclare wrote:[The example sentences given were "Вот идёт поезд" (Here comes the train) vs "Вот едет машина" (Here comes the car). Seriously?!

Serpent wrote:What does the book say about taxi? it's fine to say Такси идет or Такси пришло about a specific taxi that's been ordered, or I guess if you're waiting at a taxi station. You say Такси едет when you're also driving (usually with a descriptor of location, speed etc), so in a context where you kinda don't care about the taxi's function as a means of transport, but just as one of the many cars on the road.
