Hello and welcome. In this
lesson, I will teach you
the seven most common uses
of the verb ‘get’. So let’s
start.
Before we get into the
lesson, as always, if you
have any questions, just
let me know in the comments
section below, and I will
talk to you there. Also,
there is a quiz at the end
of hits lesson to test your
understanding.
Now, the most common
meaning of ‘get’ is to mean
receive, obtain, or buy
something. For example, “I
got some old books from my
grandfather.” It means “I
received some old books”.
In the next example, “We’ve
gotten 50 emails in the
past three days.” It means
“We have received 50
emails.”
Notice that the first
sentence is in the past
simple tense and the second
sentence is in the present
perfect tense. So in
sentence number two, we are
using the third form of
‘get’ - the past participle
form. The verb ‘get ’ is
irregular - that is, we
don’t say ‘getted’ to make
the past simple or past
participle forms. The
correct forms are ‘get’,
‘got’, and ‘gotten’. In
American English, ‘gotten’
is more common, and in
British English, ‘got’ is
the preferred past
participle form. So in
number two, you could say
“We’ve got 50 emails”. That
would be the British
English form.
Here are two more examples:
“Harry just got a job at
the airport.” It means he
obtained a job, or that he
was hired for a job at the
airport. And finally, “What
are you getting me for my
birthday?” It means “What
present are you going to
buy for me for my
birthday?” OK, let’s move
on to the second use.
In British English, the
expression ‘have got’ is
used a lot to mean ‘have’.
It’s used in American
English as well but it’s
more common in British
English. This expression is
used in two ways - the
first is to talk about
ownership or relationship.
For example, “I’ve got two
sisters.”, “Sara has got
Wi-Fi at home.”, “Have you
got time for a coffee?”
The second function is to
express obligation or
necessity (that is, by
using ‘have got to’ in the
place of ‘have to’). Like
in these examples: “You’ve
got to get up early
tomorrow.” or “He has got
to learn German to live in
Austria.” In all of these
sentences, you can use
‘have’ or ‘has’ instead of
‘have got’ or ‘has got’ and
the meaning would be the
same.
But there is an important
point here. When we use
‘have got’ in these two
ways, it does not have a
past tense. To change these
sentences to the past, just
use ‘had’. For example, say
“Sara had Wi-Fi at home.”
which means she doesn’t
have it now. Or “He had to
learn German to live in
Austria.” Don’t use ‘had
got’ to mean ‘had’ - it’s
wrong. Remember that.
Alright, the third use of
‘get’ is to make offers and
requests. Take this
question for example:
“Could you get me the menu,
please?” You might say this
at a restaurant. Here,
‘get’ means ‘bring’. It’s
like asking “Could you
bring me the menu?” Instead
of ‘the menu’, you can say
‘get me a cup of coffee’,
‘get me a sandwich’,
anything. The next example,
“Can I get you something to
drink?” is an offer. Here,
I’m offering to bring you
something to drink. It’s
very common to say this to
a guest, so the next time
you have a friend over at
your place, ask your
friend, “Hey, can I get you
something to drink? Or
something to eat, maybe?”
OK, let’s move on to the
next use. The verb ‘get ’
is often used when we want
to talk about traveling to
mean to arrive or to reach
a place. For example, “I
got home late yesterday
evening because of the
traffic.” That means I
reached home late. A common
question that is asked on
the phone is “What time
will you get here?” That
means, what time are you
going to reach this place?
