This is "Everyday Grammar".
A: So, Alice, what did you do last
night?
B: Well, I was at home,
getting
ready to go to the movies. I was
getting my shoes on when I got a
feeling that something strange was
going to happen.
A: I've
gotten those feelings, too.
B: Then, I left the house, and
got
a cab, and
got to the movies as fast
as I could.
A: Did you
get there on time?
B: Yes! But as soon as I
got into
the theater, I
got a phone call
from
someone whose voice I didn’t
recognize. That’s when things
started
to get weird…
getting ready: preparándome;
getting my shoes on: calzándome,
poniéndome los zapatos; I got a
feeling: tuve un presentimiento;
gotten those feelings: tenido
esos presentimientos; got a cab:
tomé un taxi; got to the movies:
llegué al cine; get there on time:
llegaste allí a tiempo; got into
the theater: entré a la sala;
got a phone call: recibí una
llamada; whose voice: cuya
voz; I didn't recognize: no
reconocí; started to get weird:
empezaron a ponerse extrañas;
Did you notice anything unusual in
this story? The verb
GET is used 10 times -- and
with several different meanings.
GET is one of the most
commonly used, most tricky, and
sometimes most hated words for
English learners. When learning this
verb, it is best to keep a sense of
humor.
That is because the verb
has more than 50 uses, such as when
it appears as part of at least 12
phrasal verbs or other
expressions.
unusual: fuera de lo común;
tricky: tramposos; hated:
odiados; keep a sense of humor:
mantener el buen humor; at least:
por lo menos;
Today on Everyday Grammar, we
explore this simple three-letter
word with many meanings. But don’t
worry. By the time you come to the
end of the program, we hope you will
begin to enjoy this captivating and
changeable verb.
We will consider a few of the most
common meanings of GET and
offer some ideas on how to use the
verb.
Let’s start with a very common
meaning of GET, which is to
RECEIVE,
OBTAIN or
BUY. The
structure is GET + DIRECT OBJECT.
meanings: significados;
captivating: cautivante;
receive, obtain or buy: recibir,
obtener o comprar;
Listening or reading for
clues and then recognizing
the meaning from those clues is the
best way of explaining this meaning.
For example, take the following
sentence:
I
got an email from my friend
Penelope. In this sentence, does
GOT mean received, obtained, or bought?
Here, the word GOT means
RECEIVED. We know that the person
did not BUY the email. We
also know that they did not
OBTAIN it, since OBTAIN
means to acquire by
effort.
for clues: en busca de;
got an email: recibí un mensaje
electrónico; to acquire by effort:
adquirir u obtener mediante esfuerzo;
Let’s try another sentence:
I
just got a new sofa!
In this example, does
GOT
mean received, obtained, or bought?
It probably means
BOUGHT,
since the speaker does not provide
any evidence that it was
RECEIVED.
But, in this statement, whether the
speaker BOUGHT the sofa or
OBTAINED it in some other
way is not very important. The most
important thing to know here is that
the speaker did not RECEIVE
the sofa – they obtained it in some
way.
let's try: veamos, probemos
con; just got a new sofa: me
hice de un sofá nuevo (no queda
claro si lo "compró" o se lo
"regalaron");
Now, let’s turn to a different
meaning of GET. This one
means to
BRING or
FETCH.
The structure is: GET + DIRECT
OBJECT.
Listen to this example:
I’m going outside to get the mail.
bring or fetch: traer o ir a
buscar; to get the mail: a
traer o a buscar;
Sometimes, however, the structure
can be: GET + INDIRECT OBJECT +
DIRECT OBJECT.
Listen to the example:
Could you get me my phone?
It’s in the bedroom upstairs.
In this sentence, the direct object
is MY PHONE and the
indirect object is ME. This
is a structure you can use to ask
someone to bring something to you.
You would probably not use it unless
the thing were fairly close. For
example, if you left your mobile
phone at a friend’s house, and you
will see the friend tomorrow, you
would not say:
Could you get me my phone
tomorrow?
Instead, you would say:
Could you bring me my phone
tomorrow?
Now, you try it. Ask someone to
bring something nearby to you.
however: sin embargo; get
me my phone: traerme el teléfono;
upstairs: arriba (en un piso
superior de la casa); unless the
thing: a menos que el objeto;
were fairly close: estuviese
bastante cerca; nearby to you:
cercano a ti;
Our next meaning of GET is
to
ARRIVE somewhere. There are two
structures here. The first is: GET +
LOCATION ADVERB.
The second is: GET + TO + LOCATION.
Listen to a few examples:
What time will you get here? I
got to Tokyo at 6 a.m. I
got to the concert late. In these examples, the clue to the
meaning of GET is the name
of a place right after the verb,
such as “Tokyo,” “the movies,”
“here” or “there”.
arrive: llegar, arribar;
get here: llegar aquí; I got
to: llegué a;
Our last meaning of GET on
today’s program is to
BECOME. The
structure is: GET + ADJECTIVE.
Listen to a few examples:
The food is getting cold. I
get nervous when I have to
speak in public. In this use, the verb
GET
simply replaces the verb
BECOME.
You will recognize this easily when
you hear or see an adjective
immediately after GET.
become: transformarse;
getting cold: enfriándose; I
get nervous: me pongo nervioso/a;
Here are three suggestions to help
you better understand and use the
meanings of GET:
suggestions: sugerencias;
help you better understand:
ayudarte a entender mejor;
TIP 1:
GUESS THE MEANING FROM CLUES.
Guessing can be your best friend when trying to
understand and use the meanings of
GET. Use context clues to
help you know how GET is
used. Context means words
that are used with or next to a
specific word or expression that
helps explain its meaning.
Look for a direct object or a
location adverb or an adjective
before or after the verb GET.
These will help you to know its
intended meaning.
guessing: adivinar;
context clues: pistas en el
contexto; intended meaning:
el significado deseado;
TIP 2: PRACTICE,
PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Read and listen to as much as you
can in English. The more you do
this, the more easily you will be
able to use clues as a tool to
quickly understand meaning.
Americans, the British, and other
native English speakers can
recognize these clues very quickly.
You can learn to do this, too!
as much as you can: todo lo
que puedas; the more you do this:
cuantas más veces lo hagas; the
more easily: más fácil te
resultará; be able to use clues
as a tool: utilizar pistas como
herramienta; to quickly
understand meaning: para
entender velozmente el significado;
can recognize these clues: saben
reconocen estas pistas;
TIP
3: USE OTHER VERBS.
If you are not sure how to use some
of the meanings of GET, you
can instead use verbs with similar
meanings. Sometimes the other verbs
sound natural, and other times they
sound formal. For example, you can
say, “I just bought a new sofa!”
and it sounds perfectly natural. By
comparison, saying, “I arrived
home at 10 pm” sounds very
official. Yet, both are correct and
can be used.
sure: seguro/a; sounds
very official: suena muy formal;
yet: de todos modos;
So, GET going and enjoy
this wonderful verb. We've GOT
TO go now. But keep listening
in the coming weeks for more words
with many meanings.
I’m Phil Dierking.
I'm Jill Robbins.
And I'm Alice Bryant.
get going: continua, sigue
adelante; we 've got to go:
tenemos que dejarte; keep
listening: sigue escuchando.
