cheers me Oh mate I’ve got tea but last
night was a crazy night right so I’m at
my house I’m getting ready I get dressed
get my shoes on get out so get myself a
taxi to get to the club got to the club
about 10:00 10:30 I got three tickets to
this club from a guy I’m dancing out
where he’s a nice guys and new but
that’s some spontaneous I may your game
fat and I’m not me I’m getting pretty
offended by what you’re saying it should
get me anyway once we get into the car
but get to the bar get myself a drink
I’m getting my money out right now get
kissed by this girl next to me she is
gorgeous she’d have comments at Amy
Winehouse anyway yeah she’s floating
around in my pocket I’m like this is
getting a bit crazy getting around in my
pocket this is getting a bit crazy but
the same time I’m thinking you don’t get
this opportunity very often do you it’s
not often you get kissed by beautiful
girl inside me one out to get me anyway
then I remember of God go I’ve got a
meeting in the morning so I tell to go
I’ve got to go see you later I’ve got a
number anyway
get a taxi get back to my hotel I’m at
my hotel room I get on my keycard but
it’s not there it’s missing
do you know I think happened I think it
got stolen by the Amy Winehouse Cole
sometimes I just don’t get it so we all
know that yet basically can mean receive
or obtain for example you could buy
something yeah I can’t draw cats you
could say so of course this is the most
common way of understanding get it means
receive maybe you bought the cat don’t
buy cats always adopt so get can mean by
but not just buy maybe someone gave you
the cat as a present maybe it’s your
birthday I’ll be an amazing birthday
present for my birthday please get me a
cat but that’s just one meaning of get
and there are many many meetings of get
if you add a preposition with get you
have a phrasal verb and get appears many
times in phrasal verbs in fact it’s so
complex we need a new video to explain
them here are just five and we explain
those five in this video on my belly if
you’ve already seen this video let’s
continue another meaning of get is catch
and we say you catch the bus
so in this case you could say I got the
bus in the past or I get the bus every
day in a present tense for example and
not just for a bus you could get a taxi
get the Train get a plane the boat any
public transport the boats public trip I
guess both boats of public transport on
me he’s sick he has a cold so we can say
he caught a cold in past but remember we
can use get to replace catch so as a
sentence I got a cold that’s a few
meanings of get here are some more so
you got the bus you are on the bus
you’re going to meet your friend and
your friend wants to know what time will
you arrive and you say this he could say
I’ll arrive in 10 minutes but in natural
speech that’s not how we say it we use
get but you can’t just say I’ll get in
10 minutes and that doesn’t sound good
you must have destination after get so
I’ll get to the office I’ll get to your
house I’ll get to the pub or just I’ll
get there I’ll get there in 10 minutes
to clarify I’ll get in 10 minutes new
that’s another meaning of get so now I’m
teaching it I understand why you hate it
so much and then finally you get there
you meet your friend and your friend
says wow you got fat that’s not nice
but what does he mean you got fat what
word could we replace this with became
you became that or the opposite you
became skinny you got skinny if you win
the lottery you get rich if you lose all
that money in a casino
you get poor again so there’s another
meaning of get become in a more complex
sentence you can use get like this let’s
imagine you’re walking with your friend
and you’re talking about Game of Thrones
or Walking Dead
and your annoying friend who always
tells you what happens in the episode
you haven’t seen yet they say oh my god
got killed last night in the episode of
Walking Dead hair so now you hate your
friend but also hmm got killed why did
he say it like that
well in this case get replaces the verb
be in a passive sentence now if you’ve
seen our lesson on the passive you know
that to make a passive sentence we need
the verb be and the verb 3 or past
participle however you want to call it
those make a passive sentence for
example I was born in London
that’s a passive sentence the verb be I
was born bear bought born that’s a verb
3 so the verb get replaces the verb be
so really he could say when was killed
in Walking Dead now you should know that
this is a more informal way of using the
passive voice and in some cases you
can’t use get in a passive voice to
replace B let me give you an example I
was born in London I can’t say I got
born in London that’s no justno but if
you say for example my car was stolen I
can say my car got stolen that’s ok it
sounds a bit more informal but it’s ok
also you can’t use it with stative verbs
it won’t make sense for example a
sentence like everyone knows tom is
stupid it’s an active sentence let’s
change it to passive it is known that
tom is stupid that’s passive now let’s
change the verb be forget it gets known
that Thomas stupid now that doesn’t make
sense
so stative verbs no but a movement an
action verb like I got arrested that’s
fine but just remember it sounds less
formal that
it weird right and in some common
expressions it means to start being
something very similar to become but we
use it in such expressions like get
married get divorced get fired get
engaged get lost these gets mean you
start being that thing so when you get
married it means you start being married
and now hopefully you won’t get lost
because we’ve explained the many uses of
get hmm another way to use get is with
possessions for example I can say I have
bla bla I have a cat that’s a possession
and that’s fine but it’s not very common
to say I have a cat it sounds a bit too
formal today it’s much more common to
say I have got a cat or contracted to
I’ve got a cat that’s positive what this
a negative the negative goes with this
verb I haven’t got a cat a common
mistake I see with this is when people
say I have a cat they think the negative
is I haven’t a cat it is the negative
but it’s that sounds really
old-fashioned it’s much more common to
say I don’t have a cat or I haven’t got
a cat if you’re talking about
possessions in the negative
so when you say have got it’s about a
possession I have got that’s a
possession don’t confuse it with I have
got to do something that means something
different what does it mean let’s have a
look when you must go you have to go
with some obligation you can replace
that obligation word must have to for
have got to again the contraction is
better I’ve got to so again you could
say I have to go I must go sure that’s
fine but again I’ve got to go is more
common so that is for an obligation and
you notice
that is a positive sentence but be
careful because if we change this to a
negative I haven’t got to go it doesn’t
mean the same as I mustn’t this removes
the obligation so in other words the
option is there I could go I could stay
but I haven’t got to there’s no
obligation for me to go I have got to go
I must go I haven’t got to go I have a
choice in a sentence
can you stay or have you got to go no I
haven’t got to go I can stay it’s a
choice I’ve got a meeting so I’ve got to
go we have another video explaining more
about the pronunciation of got to click
on my belly to see that so do you get it
now oh what’s that another meaning of
get if I ask do you get it or if I say
oh I get it what do I mean so you want
to say oh I understand now then you’d
say oh I get it
but be careful you can’t use it for
everything that would be too easy for
example you can say I understand five
languages I don’t understand five
languages that’s know but you can’t say
I get five languages no it means you
understand now you finally Oh
so it’s more like you understand now oh
I get it so now I think you get how to
use get in many situations now get out
there and practice thank you for
