Speed characteristics of both transports-transportations are different.

[Anna232]

I am sharing my opinion about the new trains but I am have some questions about them.

1. Speed charasterictics of both transports-transportations are different. I think this is wrong. It should be "Speed charasteristics of both types of transport-transportation are different."
2. The new models of trains can develop the-a speed of 300 km/hr. I am not sure. Should it be "a speed" or "the speed?"
3. The new trains will help us to cut time that we spend on commuting to work and save time for getting somewhere else. Can I use "for getting?"
4. Without any doubt, that way we are more productive. It is "any doubt" not "doubts," isn't it?
5. My way to work and back home was 3-4 hours a day. I think I should remove "home" and "a day."

1. Speed charasterictics of both transports-transportations are different. I think this is wrong. It should be " Speed characteristics of both types of transport-transportation are different."

I prefer "mode of transport". What is "speed characteristics"? Or do you mean the speeds are different?

2. The new models of trains can develop reach the-a speed of 300 km/hr. I am not sure. Should it be "a speed" or "the speed?"

The indefinite article is correct.

3. The new trains will help us to cut reduce the time that we spend on commuting to work. and save time for getting somewhere else. Can I use "for getting?"

The second part is unnecessary. The time gained can be spent on any other useful activity.

4. Without any doubt, that way we are more productive. It is "any doubt" not "doubts," isn't it?

The set phrase is "without a/any doubt".

5. My way to work and back home was 3-4 hours a day. I think I should remove "home" and "a day."

I'd write: My daily commute to work takes 3-4 hours.

1. Speed charasterictics of both transports-transportations are different.

1- Note the correct spelling of "characteristics".
2- Note that "transport/transportation" are not countable nouns.
3- What do you mean by "speed characteristics"?

2. The new (models of) trains can develop the- reach a speed of 300 km/hr.

See above.

I am not sure. Should it be "a speed" or "the speed?"

Ordinarily speaking, you would use "a speed of". However, "the speed of" can work if you had already discussed that speed, for example as a target.

3. The new trains will help us to cut time that we spend on reduce commuting/travel time. to work and save time for getting somewhere else.

Can I use "for getting?"

See above.

4. Without any doubt, that way we are more productive.

This is not wrong, but perhaps try "Undoubtedly, this (improved/efficient transport) has led to increased productivity".

It is "any doubt" not "doubts," isn't it?

Right.

5. My way to work and back home was 3-4 hours a day. I think I should remove "home" and "a day."

If you're talking about the past, consider starting your sentence with "It used to take me ..."

 

[Tarheel]

I always say "to work and back," so I'm prejudiced in favor of that construction.

Right.

By using "speed charasteristics" I mean they are different. Can I use it?
Is "for doing" pattern always wrong? For example, can I say: "If you have the dishwashing and washing machines you can save time for doing something else?"
and save time for getting somewhere else

Should I write "three to four hours" or is "3-4 hours" correct?

 

[Tarheel]

You could say you have more time to do other things.

 

[Tarheel]

Should I write "three to four hours" or is "3-4 hours" correct?

It depends on who you talk to. (It's becoming more and more common to use numerals in such cases.)

By using "speed charasteristics" I mean they are different. Can I use it?

No. Again, please pay attention to the correct spelling of "characteristics". I strongly advise you to install an English spell-checker in your browser or text editor.

Is "for doing" pattern always wrong?

No, it's not. I just made the sentence above more concise. See below.

For example, can I say: "If you have the dishwashing a dishwasher and a washing machine, you can save have more time for (doing the) gardening. something else?"
and save time for getting somewhere else

Should I write "three to four hours" or is "3-4 hours" correct?

You can use either.

Can I use "the speeds" are different?
I will try again. I had to reinstall it.

 

[Tarheel]

Can I use "the speeds are different"?

Yes.
