Sentence correction

Hi teachers,

Would you please correct my sentence? Thank you.

The other day I was on a train in the subway, and I was holding a post for support. Later, a man was standing near the post, he laid his back on the post and caught my hand. I said to the man, "Excuse me, you get my hand". The man turned and apologized to me.

Would you say "someone is sitting on your skirt" on a train?

Thank you.

Dear Mister Micawber,

If the action of the leaning his back against the post is a very long action, Could I say:

Throughout the whole ride, he was leaning on my hand and I was thinking how to tell him. At the end of my journey, I said to him, "Excuse me, sir, you've got my hand!"

> Would you say"you are on my hand" or "you have my hand" on a train?

Thank yo

Throughout the ride, he was leaning on my hand, and I was thinking how to tell him. At my station, I finally said to him, "Excuse me, sir, you've got my hand!"

Would you say"you are on my hand" or "you have my hand" on a train?-- Either is fine.
