Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and welcome back to informal English with Eric. Today we’re talking about the word “get." This word is extremely common in English, but it has some meanings you might not know. American English: get got gotten British English: get got got (Note: British people do use "gotten" sometimes). Examples which I use: 1 I got the bus downtown and went to a party with my friends. I got a cold last week and I was sick for three days. 2 I didn’t get what the professor was saying today. Can you help me understand? got it! got you! got you! (pronounced "gotchya"): VERY common! 3 It got too cold outside so I came inside. You’ve gotten so tall! You grew! 4 I didn’t get to work until 10am, so my boss was not happy. I got to the train station at 9:30. For instance, if you are at the train station, the announcement might be (use train station voice) Train 5 has arrived on platform 12. But if you were speaking to someone, you would say “My train just got to the station.” 5 Sorry, I need to get going. See you later. More examples: We need to get this done today, team. Get working! Get moving! Why do you drive so slowly?! 6 A flirtatious flight attendant got me to try coffee the first time. Fiona said she’ll see if she can get Dan to agree to join us. I'm trying to get you to learn the meanings of "get." I hope you got all that! I've you've gotten the idea of "get," post some comments with your own example sentences!
