Buttoned or open? Buttoned, opened. Open, okay. Hey, I was just getting dressed. Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "20 Passive 'Get' Expressions". So, a lot of you guys have been asking me for more lessons on the verb "get" because it is everywhere in English, so today I'm going to look at 20 expressions that you can use in the passive sense with "get". So, basically to do a passive sentence with "get", you have: "get" plus a past participle verb. In these sentences, "get" usually replaces the verbs "to be" or "become". Okay? So if you're speaking in the past with "was" or "were", you would just replace "was" or "were" with "got". If you're replacing the verb "I am", okay? You can just say: "I get" in the passive sense. I think it will make a lot more sense once you see some examples, because if you feel confused right now, after the examples you will say: "That's better. Okay. It's not so bad." And it's really not so bad, so let's look at the examples. We'll practice pronunciation in this lesson, too.
So, first: "Get asked". If someone asks you to do something, you get asked to do something. For example: "I got asked to work overtime." Someone asked me, probably my boss, definitely my boss asked me to work overtime, so I got asked to work overtime. Now, remember, here "get" is replacing a form of the verb "to be" or "become". So, you could say: "I was asked" in a standard past simple passive sentence. "I was asked to work overtime." But in speaking we often substitute "was" or "were", or other forms of the verb "to be" in passive sentences with "get". All right, let's look at some more examples.
"Get blamed". So, if you are blamed for something, this means someone accuses you of wrongdoing, of doing something wrong. So, for example: "She always gets blamed for everything." So, if you know, maybe your sister, someone in your family, a co-worker of yours is always accused of doing the wrong thing or is always accused of being the person who does the bad thing: "She always gets blamed for everything." I always got blamed for everything when I was a kid. Not really. Usually it was my youngest sister, but just an example. All right?
So, next: "Get caught". If you get caught doing something, this means someone saw you in the act of doing something, and it's something you didn't want other people to see. So, for example: "Don't do it. You're going to get caught." You'll often see this in, you know, crime dramas or movies where there's a bad guy, and the police catch the bad guy or, you know, a video camera catches the crime in action, so the criminal gets caught. So, if you are caught, you get caught, you are seen in the act of doing something that you don't want other people to see. Okay? So: "Don't get caught."
"Get done". So, to be completed. Right? So, for example: "The project got done on time." We finished the project. The project got done by us-passive sense-on time. All right? "The project was done", "The project got done".
Next: "Get dressed". You probably know this. I did a video on, you know, getting dressed and... What was it? "Get dressed" and "Get dressed up", yeah. Undressed and dressed up. So: "I was getting dressed when you called." I wiped that a little bit, sorry. But you see it. Right? Unless you're looking on your phone, in which case, just look at a notebook or something, or keep watching on your phone because the rest of this stuff is visible. So: "Get dressed". "I was getting dressed, I was putting my clothes on when you called me." Okay?
Next: "Get elected". So, in a political election: "She got elected President. She was elected by the people to become President". -"Who got elected?" -"She got elected."/"He got elected." Just so we don't date this video I'm not going to mention the most, you know, recent political situations happening in the world because we will all be angry, and we're not going to do that.
So: "Get engaged". So, before you get married, usually one of the people asks the other person to become their husband and/or become their wife, become their life partner, and they say... You can kind of see me. "Will you marry me?" […]
