hi everybody welcome back to love English so are you confused by the word
get in English get on get under get dressed get up get in get out ohh
headache the word get is used so many times in English so it can get very
confusing for students but today we're going to be looking at 10 phrasal verbs
that are used with the word get so hopefully we'll make it a little bit
clearer for you now before we start let's do a quick grammar check so what's
the past tense of the word get do you remember that's right it's got so just
remember that these phrasal verbs we're looking at can of course also be used
with the past tense they will become got secondly the phrasal verbs we're going to
be looking at are inseparable phrasal verb meaning that you can't separate the
verb and the preposition they have to stay together
sometimes the phrasal verb you can separate them and you can put an object
in the middle but in this case you can't with all these 10 we're going to look at
they have to stay together okay are you ready let's get started
so number one nice easy one to start with - get up now don't confuse this
with wake up because wake up is when you first open your eyes and stop sleeping
but get up is to get out of bed and to start your day to really really wake up
okay so nice easy one to start with get up can also mean of course if you're
sitting down to stand up so you might face them on come on let's get up let's
go so it can also need to stand up actually as well so number two to get on
we usually use this with transport to enter transport for example to get on a
bus a plane a train a tube or a bike or even a motorbike so you use it to enter
those things okay however second meaning of get on is to have a good relationship
with somebody so to be good friends to have an easy relationship you might say
I get on very well with my boss and good friends with her I like her a lot or you
might say I don't get on very well with my brother who drives me crazy meaning
we don't have a good relationship okay so that's the second meaning of get on
now I don't want to confuse you too much but some phrasal verbs have up to five
different meanings so for one phrasal verb we won't be looking at all those
different meanings today but sometimes I will tell you the second meaning okay
right so we're moving on to number three to get in this means to enter transport
usually so we get into a car we get or we can get in a car we get in a taxi so
it's really just for those two but of course if you're trying to get in your
house maybe your there's a problem with your lot because I can't get in we
usually we use it to enter meaning to enter
so number four to get out of again usually use with transport and we can
use it for cars and taxis and generally smaller vehicles like vans things like
that so it means to exit from them however if one does have a second
meaning to get out of doing something mean to get out of or to avoid something
you don't want to do for example lots of students want to get out of doing their
homework I often want to get out of doing the housework and make an excuse
where I find a way I don't have to do that thing so you avoid doing something
you don't want to do you get out of it yes
so that's the second meaning for that one so moving on to number five - get
off - get off means to exit that we use it for planes or buses or trains the
tube and for a bike so for all the things which aren't a car or a taxi so
we say - get off - get off the plane we cannot say - get off the car if you
say get off the car it seems that you're on the top of the car which would be
both strange and quite dangerous so I don't recommend you you think that one
so number six we're at number six already to get rid of to get rid of
means to be free of something which is old or that you don't want anymore throw
it away or dispose of it in some way for example people like to get rid of their
old clothes or to get rid of old furniture well generally things they
don't want anymore they might even get rid of a boyfriend
or a girlfriend although hopefully not number seven to get into something so
this is different - to get in when we talk about transport even though we can
say to get into also for transport this is a different thing is to get into
something and the meaning is to enjoy or to start to enjoy a new hobby or
activity for example you could say I'm getting into learning English are you
guys are you getting into learning English is starting to enjoy it I hope
so you can also say to get into reading a
new book so I'm really getting into this book I've started to read or I've gotten
to eating spicy food recently or you could even say I have not got into
jogging every morning I definitely have not gotten to jogging every morning so
to not to not enjoy something to not enjoy a new activity or task so that was
to get into something next one number eight this is one of my favorite phrasal
verbs to get away to get away means to leave to escape and usually we mean this
to talk about holidays so if you're feeling stressed at work you might say I
need to get away I need to go on holiday we can even call short holidays and
break a getaway you can see adverts in on the internet and the news saying weekend
get away meaning weekend's break or weekend
escape but yes usually it means to escape to leave or to go on holiday when
we talk about escape it means for example to actually escape from
something like prisoner like prison so we could say the prisoner got away, he
escaped next one number nine we're getting through these quickly we've
nearly done our 10 phrasal verbs with get so this one is a nice romantic one
it's to get together and to get together usually means to get with a new
boyfriend or girlfriend or new love interest you can say I got together with
my boyfriend my new boyfriend two months ago so it's a nice romantic one however
not just the relationship we can also use it with friends and with family you
mean to meet up so you could say to your friends we need to get together haven't
seen each other for ages let's meet up let's get together or you could say
something like we're having a family get-together this weekend
meaning the family are all meeting up so yes it's a nice positive phrasal verb to
get together like the Bob Marley song let's get together and feel all right
okay our final phrasal verb a is to get over something a little bit
sad this one actually it means to get over something unpleasant or something
not very nice for example you can get over the end of a relationship so if
someone breaks up with you you need to get over that sad feeling of not being
with them or you can get over an illness so say you've been very ill recently I
think that's quite a lot of you know that I wasn't very well and I had to get
over the illness I had meaning to recover so the meaning is generally
recover from something unpleasant or bad so you can even recover from losing a
job from losing a partner a relative a friend anything like that but yes it
means to recover from it okay for that with our ten phrasal verbs with the word
