Phrasal verbs with “Get”


ladies and gentlemen is welcome i’ma
teach me yes
hello welcome thank you for coming
yes it’s new it’s a pleasure to be here
in 1953 most of all because I wasn’t
born then now now I know English is hard
it is a hard language to learn there are
so many questions like why aren’t
phrasal verbs just called froze hash tag
frogs you don’t know what hashtag is
wait 60 years we’ll know well ladies and
gentlemen get excited because today’s
lesson is phrasal verbs using the verb
get
what it’s good step you need to learn
this stuff
it’s fine it’s not difficult I promise
Jesus we’ll start easy maybe you know
this one but maybe you don’t know the
little details of it for example get on
or get along with someone you don’t need
the with but if you use with you must
have an object the other person you
probably know this you know it as having
a good relationship with someone a
romantic relationship no it just means
that when you’re together you don’t hate
each other for example if you’re
together and you hate each other you
would say we don’t get on or we don’t
get along how would I use it with this
what were the object be I don’t like him
he doesn’t like me we don’t like each
other so we’d say we don’t get on or we
don’t get along with each other with
each other it’s not necessary but if you
use with you must have the object and in
this case it’s with each other or we
could say he doesn’t get on with him he
doesn’t get on with him it’s fine so
that’s if they don’t have a good
relationship right but these guys are
they’re not best friends but they have a
good relationship when they see each
other hey it’s you it’s me in this case
they get on they get along but that just
means that they don’t hate each other
what if I wanted to say when we’re
together when I see him when I see her
we laugh we joke we play xbox we’re very
happy in this case we could say you
could emphasize it and say we really get
on or we really get on well same for a
long we really get along we really get
along well it’s fine or we get along
well you want to say we’re good together
nothing special yeah we get on it’s fine
you want to say with best of friends wow
we really get on
but if you want to say hmm yeah I don’t
like this person yeah me here we don’t
get on another phrasal verb forget
number two Kandra buzzes sorry this is
the one that everyone is confused with
when do I use get in or out and get on
get off for a bus you would say get on
or get off let’s get on the bus that
means to enter the bus and to exit get
off another way to use get on is this
one you know when you’re studying or
you’re at the office or somewhere and
someone comes behind you and they’re all
like hey how’s it going
ah I just want to continue with my work
don’t bother me I want to continue that
is how you use get on it can mean
continue with something continue with
work so he would say um I need to get on
with my work sorry face so just remember
that in this case get on means continue
but continue with work again notice that
we’ve got with that’s an option so just
to clarify two options I need to get on
or I need to get on with my work for the
next one will do now there are two main
meanings the first one means to connect
with someone when you’re trying to call
someone but maybe they’re listening to
music and they don’t hear their phone so
it goes to voicemail or maybe the phone
is busy they’re calling someone else so
he can’t connect with her on the phone
so he’s thinking hmm I can’t get through
that’s one meaning of get through the
other meaning is when you have a
difficult situation that you’re trying
to finish for example the difficult exam
maybe his friend comes to visit him
because he’s studying so hard and she’s
a good friend and she wants to ask this
how’s uni how’s university and he’s
really having a difficult time so much
to study oh my god it’s too much as a
dude difficult I want to cry it so hard
so much studying but remember she was a
good friend she wants to reassure him so
she wants to say it’s a difficult time
but you’ll finish she could say this
she’s gonna say don’t worry you will
you’ll get through it no problem you’ll
get through it you’ll finish the
difficult thing so there you have one
meaning is finish something difficult
the other meaning is if you remember
from before connect on the phone how are
you doing you confused I know it’s
annoying and English is stupid but don’t
worry together we’re going to get
through phrasal verbs with get next one
to start a conversation you could say
which TV shows do you like a good answer
would be this oh my god I go into Game
of Thrones last week what does she mean
by get into Game of Thrones well it
means to become interested in something
but more than a little bit for example
she could say I watched Game of Thrones
it’s okay I watched two episodes yeah
it’s okay but if she gets into Game of
Thrones now she’s a fan now one very
important thing you need to know about
get it can mean become so that means the
start of being interested in something I
started to be really interested in Game
of Thrones last week I get into Game of
Thrones now no that doesn’t mean I am
interested we’ve getting means start so
it’s only correct to say I got into Game
of Thrones now I am interested you would
say I am into Game of Thrones I am into
Game of Thrones without last week I am
into that’s right now you could use this
in the past
if you’re not interested in something
anymore yeah I was into Game of Thrones
but then Persia her died so now I’m not
into it anymore so going back to this
question which TV shows do you like a
more common question to ask someone
which TV shows are you into so if you
meet someone the good first question is
which TV shows you into another one this
time with over get over
if a boyfriend and a girlfriend break up
and he says in this relationship is
finished how is she gonna feel very sad
right she has a good friend and she
wants to reassure her she wants to say
he’s an idiot don’t worry soon the bad
feelings will finish when you want to
say finish with bad feelings you can say
get over don’t worry you’ll get over him
those bad feelings you won’t care soon
it won’t be important to you you’ll get
over him now can I say you’ll get over
no with this you must have an object
you’ll get over him
or you’ll get over it the relationship
you’ll get over it it’s fine also if you
want to tell someone ah okay three
months you’re about your ex-boyfriend
get over it already so just to clarify
get over means to lose negative feelings
about something or someone or to
generally stop caring about that
situation and say ah I did care but now
I got over it I am over it next one will
do get by let’s imagine someone offers
you a job and you want to ask hmm how
much is the salary how much money does
it pay and they say this
yeah we’ll pay you three pounds an hour
now if someone offers you three pounds
an hour for a job at least in London you
can’t survive on that you can’t survive
on that money so if you want to say
survive but financially survive you
could say get by three pounds an hour I
can’t get by on that money I can’t
survive what am I going to do buy a
sandwich probably because I’m British
survive financially living in London is
difficult but if you have the right job
you can get by next 1 1 maybe you
haven’t heard of is this one to get
around doesn’t have a positive feeling
to it it’s kind of negative let me give
you an example
girls you probably know this situation
if a guy comes up to you and says you
you’re the most beautiful girl in the
world probably you are not the only one
he’s saying this too right but don’t
worry she has good friends friends who
know better and she wants to say don’t
trust him I know him he gets around what
does that mean to get around well it
means to be with lots of people sexually
so you want to say this person is with a
lot of people they get around
