"get off" vs. "drop off"

[allen_zhang]

In June 21's test, I was asked to write a letter to a friend to tell him that you can not meet him at the airport and you should tell him how to go to the hotel you booked for him.

I suggested my friend to take subway.
So I said something like:" after you get off the flight, you can take the subway....".
Then, I told him to "drop off" at the Coastal Station.

As I checked, "drop off" should be used as passive tense. You should "be dropped off". Am I right about this?
Any other alternatives for "get off"?

Hi Allen,

' drop-off; can be used as a noun and as an adjective....

i feel in your letter it should be used as an adjective ; your friend cannot drop-off himself; someone has to drop-off;

for ex; Allen, can you drop-off me at the Coastal station?

If it is in passive voice then, someone dropped me off at the Coastal station

you might have used get- down at the Coastal station...

Only in my knowledge......lets wait another 4 days..

Hi allen_zhang and durai,

I think this link may clarify what you want. http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=981697

For me, I may use " go out at the coastal station"

Cheers,
