hello everyone how are you today this is Marc I'm doing great thanks for asking
he got stuck in traffic going to work this morning the puppies are getting fed
by the vet assistant they will get fired if they don't follow orders in this
lesson we're going to look at get passive so stay tuned let me tell you
first that I have a lot of lessons on get so if you wish to watch all those
lessons you may click here get by itself means buy receiver or obtain understand
fetch experience become pay attention to become come go make progress catch or
learn let's look at some examples can you get me a glass of water get in this
case means fetch another example the police got the burglar after intensive
investigation got in this case means catch so caught in the past the second
point is get plus adjective if you add an adjective after get it means become
so become and thus it becomes reflexive so for example Justin got asleep after
watching a movie so get asleep so become asleep
Justin got asleep after watching a movie or another example you'll get fat if we
eat all that so become fat now another usage is as a phrasal verb so get plus
particle gossip can get around fast gossip can get around fast get around
means become known if you wish to watch a lesson on phrasal verbs you may click
here now fourth point is get plus ready so
prepare yourself this is what it means prepare yourself like for example let's
get ready to go out let's prepare to go out let's get ready to go out or another
example why don't you get the dinner ready for us in this case we have get
plus something plus ready so why don't you get the dinner ready for us now the
fifth point and this is what the lesson is made for the passive get
we use it informally and be careful because it can slightly change the
meaning of a sentence is used with dynamic or action verbs and if you don't
know what a dynamic or a stative verb is you may click here to watch that lesson
you know that to make a passive we need the verb to be plus the past participle
right in this case we replace the verb to be with get so get plus past
participle let's take a look at my examples he got punished for his ill
conduct so in this case we have the past simple passive see he got himself
punished as opposed to he was punished for his ill conduct so in the first case
we have like a kind of he got himself punished so it was his fault that he got
punished he got punished he got himself punished instead of he
was punished for his ill conduct so the the meaning can change can slightly
change another example they will get fired if they don't follow orders this
is the future simple passive as opposed to they will be fired if they don't
follow orders they will get themselves fired so it's their fault right it's their
fault and they are probably not coming on time for work or they have
other problems and they get themselves fired so the other example was so the
puppies are getting fed by the vet assistant so in this case we have the
present continuous passive as opposed to the puppies are being fed by the vet
assistant beware like I said before only with dynamic or
action verbs so nothing was known about the lesson you cannot say nothing got
known you cannot say it why because no is a stative verb or a state verb now
I'm going to ask you to write the passive get in this sentence they've
been injured while playing rugby so I repeat they've been injured while
