different uses so in these videos I'm going to show you
one common use and on my blog you can find the post with the definitions and
examples, examples you can listen to ok before I start talking about today's
phrasal verb what is a phrasal verb a phrasal verb is one verb plus a
preposition or an adverb and together they will have a completely different
meaning sometimes the phrasal verb may have only one particle preposition adverb
particle okay sometimes it can have two sometimes three that's why it is so
difficult for students to memorize because they are long and they have a
very different meaning from the verb alone okay I'm going to be showing you
three phrasal verbs so three videos three phrasal verbs with Get but here we go in
this video we are going to learn about the phrasal verb get over

problem or you recover from a situation a problem okay let's take a look at some
examples John finally got over his depression it took him two years and a
lot of therapy but he's finally better in this case I'm saying that John
recovered from his depression after two long years and a lot of therapy
treatment psychological therapy to get over a hangover you need to drink a lot
of water hmm in this example I'm saying that to recover from a hangover you need
to drink water
when you drink a lot of alcohol and the next day you wake up feeling well
hangover you feel dizzy you feel a headache sick dehydrated Did I say
headache well you feel like your head is going to explode that's basically a
hangover today I'm going to show you a second possible meaning because this is
a very popular use for this phrase over so we talked about getting over a
disease or a problem now I'm going to give you a second very common use for
this phrasal verb. You can also use get over when you are talking about people

broke your heart and you want to get over this person you want to forget this
person in the song I showed you earlier that is the exact idea that the singer
is trying to show in her song she's saying I'm going to get over you I'm
going to forget you I'll be alright I will be fine but not tonight
not now not today okay so this is the idea in the song let's see more examples

been a year they broke up in this case I'm talking about Linda and how it's
been very difficult for her to forget John to get over John even though they
broke up they ended the relationship one year ago the best way to get over a
