Sorry, I am not a native speaker, but what are you using "where am I" in this context for? I think it doesn't make sense...
Hi teachers,
Could you correct this paragraph please?
The person is in the station bar buying some drinks.
Robert: Oh my God!! The train is leaving the station! My bag and my jacket are on the train and my train ticket is in my jacket pocket. I have got little money in my pants pocket, and where amI?
Thanks in advance

I've got almost no money on me, and I don't even know where I am!
(What kind of person leaves their bag and jacket unattended on a train? A very trusting one, I guess.)
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
I wondered that, too, englishhobby.
He just needs to look at the station name-board.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. The thing is that he is traveling with two more people, in fact two girls. The girls were thirsty and there wasn't a snack car on that train. So he went off the train to buy them a couple of drinks. That's why he left his jacket and bag on the train.

These days we frequently use 'they'/'them'/'their' in preference to 'he or she'/'him or her'/his or her'. This was once considered sub-standard, but is now becoming more and more accepted. Indeed, the idea of using 'they' to refer to one person is now so common, that the emphtic/reflexive pronoun 'themself' is appearing.
