To get along with most students know this one. Do  

you know this one, when you get along  with someone it means you have a good

relationship with that person.  I really get along with my boss  

but we commonly use this in the - I don't  get along with my boss so you can use it in  

both the positive or the negative. So  which describes you I get along with.

don't get along with my

boss to get away. This means to escape,  so you can use this into context,  

the criminal got away. So that means  he escaped. The robber, got away,  

he stole my car and he got away he  escaped. But we also use this more  

in the sense of to escape from your daily  life. The difficulties of your daily life,

I really need to get away. Work has been so  busy, I don't get along with my boss. I need  

to get away another common phrasal verb with  get away, is to get away with something and  

that something is negative. For example, she  got away with the crime. This means she wasn't

Finished for the crime. So  she did something wrong,  

but she got away with it. She got away with  stealing the car. Notice that verb ing with  

stealing the car to get off lightly? This  is when you are punished for something,  

but you're punished less severely than you  anticipated. So maybe you forgot to submit

I'll report at work but you  got off lightly your boss,  

didn't fire you but they did remove you  from the account, so you were punished,  

but you were punished less severely  than you expect it. We also use this

more

in a criminal context. She stole the car,  

but she got off lightly. So maybe  she didn't go to prison. She only

Had to do community service to get back.  This is used to say that you return to  

your original starting point. So let's say  you're at home, but then you go to the store  

and then you return back home. So now,  you can say, I got back at 7:00. What time  

did you get back? Now, you can specify  the place. What time did you get back?

Home back to the office. Oh, I got back  around seven. We commonly use this,  

with your vacations. What time did you  get back from your trip to Italy? Oh,  

I got back on Tuesday, you returned home from  Italy. There's also the phrasal verb to get  

back to someone. You might say, oh, I really need  to get back to John when you get back to someone,

it means you respond to that person.  So if I say I need to get back to John,  

it means that John contacted me but I have  not replied. So maybe he asked me a question  

and I have not answered his question. I need  to get back to John or you John might say.  

When are you going to get back to me? When  are you going to respond to my question?

When you get back into something, it means you  continue doing something that you stopped for  

a period of time. So, let's say you decided  to learn how to play guitar or piano, and you  

play a guitar every week, for months, and months,  and months. And then you stop playing guitar,  

you get very busy at work, but then work is no  longer busy. So you say, oh, I need to get back.

Back into guitar. I need to get back into  my guitar lessons. So maybe you could use  

this with your language lessons. I need to  get back into my English language class.

Didn't get back to John which  means you didn't reply to John  

and you didn't answer his question.  Maybe John will try to get back at

you.

He'll try to get revenge on you  so maybe he'll tell everyone that  

you're not very helpful and that's how we  gets back at you to get behind someone or  

something this is when you support someone  or something. So let's say your company has

A new policy on their dress code and you like  the policy you can say, I can really get behind  

that policy. You support that policy to get by.  This is when you have just enough resources to  

survive, we most commonly use this with Financial  Resources. So you might say with inflation. I can

Barely get by. So it means you can pay your  bills, pay your mortgage, buy groceries,  

but just enough at the end of the month, you  have one or two dollars left in your account.  

I'm getting by to get into trouble. I'm sure  you do this all the time when you get into  

trouble, it just means you enter that  situation where you're doing something.

You're not supposed to be doing, which  is the trouble. So kids get into trouble  

all the time. That's why you don't  leave your kids at home without an  

adult to supervise them because they're  going to get into trouble. They're going  

to write on all the walls with crayon  or eat all the cookies in the fridge.  

They're going to get into trouble to get  on this is when you board, which means

Means to enter certain vessels,  certain methods of transportation. So,  

you can get on a plane, a train, a  boat, or a bus. I got on the plane,  

you entered the plane, you boarded  the plane to get on is also used as  

an expression to say that someone is old or  has become very old. So, you might say my

Animal is getting on which means my  grandma is now quite old. She's become  

very old my grandma's getting on so she  has difficulty getting on a plane. Now,  

what's the opposite of on? I'm on the plane I got  on the plane so now I need to get off the plane  

and remember you only get off certain methods  of transportation Planes, Trains boats, and

Buses. This is my stop. I need to  get off the bus. Get off the train  

for vehicles, cars Vans or trucks, you  get in and get out of. I got in my car,  

I got out of my car, so don't confuse those  two. We also use get in when you enter a room.

A building or enter a house or a  location. So this is very common  

at work. A co-worker could ask you o. What  time did you get in? They met. What time did  

you enter the office? So you can also use  it to mean, what time did you start your  

work day because when you enter the office  building technically, you started work. So  

what time did you get in? Is another way  of saying, what time did you start work?

And now in this case, although the opposite  of in is out, we have an expression to get  

off which means to end work for the day. So,  someone could ask you o. What time do you get  

off today? What time do you usually get off?  What time are you getting off tomorrow? This  

means what time do you finish work?  Do you end work? Just for the day.

To get out is also used as an expression of  disbelief. So let's say your friend tells you,  

I won the lottery, get out, get out, get  out of here, get out of town so you can  

add get out of here or less commonly, but  still comment, get out of town. It's just  

a show that I can't believe it. What get out.  Get out. So if your friend says something very

Shocking or surprising. I'm moving  to Antarctica. Get out. Get out of  

town. Why? Why are you doing that?  When you get, I would have something

or get out of doing something. It means  you avoid doing something unpleasant.  

So I could say, I need to get out of  cleaning the garage because that's  

unpleasant and I don't want to do it  to get together. This is when people

Eyes socially. They join each other socially.  So I might ask what time are we getting  

together tonight? So what time are we going  to meet each other? Join each other and have  

dinner. Have a cup of coffee? Go for a walk, do  something social. Now, if you specify the noun,  

you need with, what time are you getting  together with your friends tonight?

Right? You probably know this one to get up.  What time do you get up? This is when you  

leave your bed in the morning, first thing in  the morning. So what time do you wake up? This  

is when you open your eyes but then get up is  when you actually leave your bed. So I wake up  

at 6 a.m. but I don't get up until 6:30 but how  about this one, get up to. What did you get up to

Last night. This is a common way of  simply asking what someone did. Oh,  

what did you get up to last night? Oh, not much.  I watched a movie. We also use this one though,  

to imply that someone is doing something  wrong. My kids are always getting up to.  

No good. This is the same thing as getting  into trouble, but in a general context. So  

what did you get up to last night? It's  what did you do last night to get across?

Ross. This is to communicate your idea  successfully. So, as a non-native speaker,  

you might say I have a hard time getting my  ideas across, I have a hard time communicating  

successfully, and if you have a hard time getting  your ideas across, someone might ask you. What  

are you getting at? What are you getting at? This  is another way of saying. What are you trying to?

Communicate. What do you mean? So, if you're  trying to explain something, but the other  

person doesn't understand, they can say, what are  you getting at now? To get at can also mean to  

successfully reach, something, or find something  or obtain something. So, let's say I have a  

shelf and I have a hat on a very high shelf. I  might say, I can't get at my hat. I can't read.

Reach my hat. So you get rid of this  is when you throw away. So permanently  

remove unwanted items. So remember I said  I wanted to get out of cleaning my garage  

because there's so many things, I need to get  rid of. There are so many unwanted things in  

my garage that I want to permanently  remove. So maybe once a year, you can

Go

through your entire house and get rid of things,  get rid of unwanted things to get wound up about

something

is when you get really angry about something.  So let's say, your father, doesn't like politics

in general. So every time he sees something in the  news about politicians he gets wound up. He gets

Ali,

angry, but you might say to your dad,  get over it, get over it, to get over

something

is when you tell someone, they shouldn't have  strong feelings towards something else, and those

strong

feelings are usually negative feelings. So,  

if your dad gets really wound up about  politics, you can say, oh, just get over it.

It's not a big deal. You can of course,  

get over someone. Do you know this one?  When you get over someone it means you.

No

longer have romantic feelings for that  person. So, after my divorce, it took me

years

to get over my husband it took me years to  stop having romantic feelings towards my

Husband. Now someone could

say get over it, stop

being upset about

the situation that you're no longer with

your husband. But that might be a little  insensitive. You can also get over an illness,  

which means you recover from an  illness. It took me weeks to get  

over my cold. It took me weeks  to recover from my cold to get

Mound. This is how you travel  within an area. So if you're a  

tourist you might Google. What's the  best way to get around New York City  

and of course, it's not by car. You don't want to  get around by car because the traffic is terrible.  

So walking is the best way to get around or  taking the subway is the best way to get around.

Around New York City. When you get around  to something or to doing something,  

it means you finally do something after not  doing it for a long period of time. So let's  

say I was trying to get out of cleaning  the garage because I didn't really want  

to get rid of all that unwanted  stuff, but I finally got around

On to cleaning the garage. So I finally  clean the garage after a long time of not  

cleaning the garage to get it together is  when you take control of your life or your  

emotions. So let's say your friend is really  upset because she broke up with her husband.

And she has not gotten over him and you  want to tell your friend to just get over  

it. But instead you tell your friend, get  it together, get it together. You need to  

take control of your emotions because  your friend is crying all the time or  

she's really upset. She's really moody angry,  not pleasant to be around and you tell your

Front. You need to get it together,  which is a little bit of tough love,  

but sometimes it's necessary. There are many  phrasal verbs with get through that have different  

meanings. When you get through something, it means  you in der or deal with a difficult situation,  

it was really difficult for me to get  through my father's death. So my father died

Obviously that's a difficult situation. Hopefully  you don't say get over it because that would be  

very insensitive but I had a hard time getting  through my father's death so you can use this in  

a personal situation you can use it in a work  situation as well. I don't get along with my  

boss so I have a hard time getting through our  meetings. I have a hard time dealing with our

Meetings because I don't get along with my boss  when you get through something. It can also  

mean that you successfully finish something  that was very difficult or time-consuming.  

I finally got through the report, so you  finished it, but it took you a really long  

time. It was difficult when you get through  to someone, it means that you successfully.

At them after numerous attempts of  trying to contact them. So let's say,  

I needed to get back to John, I needed to  respond to John, but every time I called John,  

I got his voicemail. I could say I'm  having a hard time getting through to John,  

so I can't get back to John because I  can't get through to him, but we also use

To get through to someone when you're able to  communicate something to someone in a way that  

they understand it. So I told my friend that  she shouldn't quit her job and I explained all  

the reasons why and I finally got through  to her. So I finally made her understand  

why she shouldn't quit her job. Your head is  probably spinning right now with all of these
