    I’m an Italian native speaker and self-taught. I always struggled to find the right way to use GET and GOT. In some ways, in that, I’ve been lucky because I always tried to find alternatives to GET and GOT and since I use a lot of synonyms in my native language, I translated them in English and GOT good results. However I always wanted to learn the right use of them. I still have so many things to learn. I’ve just discovered your channel and I am totally in awe in front of your teaching capabilities. I could avoid the use of subtitles, I get everything you say and your examples are clear, simple and efficacious. Thank you, Sir. You are a hell of a teacher! :)

      I don't understand why this is a BAD ending for the expedition. Isn't it nice to end an expedition with a tasty meal?

    In short you can get by just by getting what is "get" and instantly get fluent because "get" can get you through so much situations when other words don't want to get out of your mouth.
    Got it?

    This is the best explained "get" ever. Teachers of English in schools generally did not teach about the use of the word "get", which later created numerous problems for the learners, who were confused with an incredible amount of use of the word "get" by the native English speakers.

    I am an Spanish and Portuguese native speaker (I was raised in the border between South Brazil and North Uruguay). I love the way you teach. In fact, you are the most fantastic teacher of English that I ever meet in my life. Thank you for so much!.

    Get is the most frequently used word in English. I see no difficulties. There are others. Thanks. You are fairly well-spoken. Knowledgeable. I have used the language with native speakers all of my life.

    Hello
    I think you could add the verb To Get as a causative , like to make and to have . They will get him to work for them for nothing...to get + to + infinitive

    @brirothert 4 роки тому +2

    That's a brilliant lesson again, cheers!
    I understood all these forms of "get" before, but now I have a neat and tidy chart on a piece of paper and it's all become a lot clearer.
    I always wondered about where "gotten" fits in, for example. Now I know!
    I remember our lessons at school 40+ years back when all the teachers used to say: "Remember, don't write your test papers in go-get-give style, use proper English!"
    These teachers joked: "I become a beefsteak." ... because it's a common mistake made by German learners of English as the German "bekommen" means "to receive".
    And our English teachers said "pArticiple" instead of "partIciple" (with the stress on the first syllable).

    Great lesson with clear explanations. It's simple, funny and efficient. Bravo !
    However, there's another verb as confusing as "to get" which is the verb "to draw". It has plenty of different meanings according to the context in which it is used. But, curiously enough I've seen no lesson about it on UA-cam so far. I think it would be very interesting and helpfull to make a video on this verb.

    As a native English speaker, I was taught that using "got" is often sloppy, so I am careful to limit its usage. But then, I don't mind sounding educated, and most people were never taught this, so they have no idea. I'm glad you covered the issue somewhat in your last example.
