Learn English – “a right way” or “in a right way”

expressionsword-choiceword-usage

I heard a lot people omit the "in" while saying "in a right way".

for example

if a kid play with a knife, someone would told him/her "you are not using the knife a right way"

is it grammatical and idiomatic?

Both your sentences are grammatically correct when a is replaced by the.

You are not using the knife the correct way

You are not using the knife in the correct way
