Let's get started!
10
Let's review all the verb forms of get and their pronunciations.
11
get is the base form the third person singular form is
12
gets this changes to got in the simple past form the
13
present participle form is getting spelled with two t's now there
14
are two possibilities for the past participle form generally got is used in the uk and gotten is used in the us
15
but there are some exceptions.
16
Notice my pronunciation.
17
Gotten.
18
Gotten.
19
The T is pronounced with a glottal stop.
20
This pause is the same thing that happens when a child knows that he's in trouble.
21
Uh-oh.
22
Most Americans, including myself, pronounce gotten this way.
23
The first group of meanings is about ways to obtain results.
24
We already know that the basic meaning of get is to receive.
25
I got a present for my birthday.
26
This means that someone gave me something or sent me something.
27
Did you get my email yesterday?
28
I got some really good advice from my teacher.
29
Sometimes getting something requires more effort than just receiving something.
30
In this case, get means to obtain something by asking for something, finding something, or maybe paying for something.
31
Can I get a glass of water, please?
32
This is a common way to ask for something at a restaurant.
33
I need to write this down.
34
One second.
35

Here, get means to go to a different place, find something, and bring it back here.
37
You can also get someone something or get something for someone, meaning to buy.
38
I have to go to the store after work.
39
Do you want me to get you anything?
40
Yes, can you get some eggs and milk for me?
41
We also use get to talk about services that we pay for.
42
For example, you can get a haircut, get a manicure, get a taxi,
43
etc. Next, get plus a noun can mean achieve, earn, gain, or win something.
44
Did you get a good score on your exam?
45
The actor got an award for his performance.
46
I hope my favorite teen will get first place in the competition.
47
Sometimes we use get for punishments.
48
Look at the title of this news article.
49
Florida teen gets a year in jail for impersonating a health worker.
50
To impersonate someone means to pretend to be another person.
51
Next, it's very common for the word get to indicate a change of state.
52
We can use get plus a noun to talk about something that develops as the result of something we do or experience.
53
I get a headache every time I drink coffee.
54
Drinking coffee results in a headache for me.
55
I got food poisoning from the food at that restaurant.
56
I'm never going there again.
57
I should get some sleep because it's getting late.
58
This is a more informal way to say go to bed or go to sleep.
59
Here, sleep is a non-count noun, so we don't say a sleep.
60
It's getting late.
61
What does that mean?
62
Well, in my opinion, this is the most important sense of the word get, so pay close attention.
63
In this context, get plus an adjective means to become.
64
So you could say, it's becoming cold outside, or he becomes angry very easily.
65
But it's much more common to hear native speakers say,
66
it's getting cold outside, and he gets angry very easily.
67
Get in everyday English
68
and become in more formal situations both describe a change of
69
state it focuses on the process of the change oh I think I'm getting sick
70
so I'm not 100% healthy
71
and I'm not 100% sick yet right now I'm just starting to have
72
that feeling do you think famous singers still get nervous on stage I'm not ready yet what needs to happen
73
if I want to be ready I have to get ready there's an important connection between be
74
and get be describes a state
75
and get describes an action you can also create a similar meaning of become with passive sentences
76
that use get plus a past participle verb.
77
Let's look at an example with the verb to marry.
78
In 1987, my parents were not married.
79
They were single.
80
This was their status at the time.
81
Then, my parents got married in 1988.
82
And today, in 2024, my parents are still married.
83
They have been married for 36 years.
84
In everyday English, we don't say my parents married with no object.
85
In this example, get married makes it clear that my parents received the action.
86
Now, if you're an intermediate or advanced English learner, you might be thinking, I've already learned the passive voice with the verb be.
87
What's the difference between the get passive and the be passive?
88
Well, there are some important differences, but that is a really advanced topic.
89
If you're interested in learning more about this, I created a free audio lesson about this on my blog.

104
This is usually very casual.
105

106
Mr. Jones, such a pleasure to meet you.
107

108

109
I can't.
110
Just joking.
111
I can get up.
112
But it's difficult.

114
People often use this when they're angry.
115

116

117
There was a very popular movie from a few years ago called Get Out.
118
Get out means to leave or escape from a place.
119
However, this is also a slang expression to show disbelief.
120
If someone shares some amazing news, or maybe if someone says something really silly that you don't believe,
121

Another important meaning of get is to arrive at, on, in a place.
130
You can get to a place or you can use get plus an adverb of place like here,
131
there, somewhere, etc. If you want to take the bus, you have to get to the bus station before nine o'clock.

134

135
I hope it gets here soon.
136
There was a lot of traffic this afternoon, so I got home an hour later than usual.
137
Remember, it's incorrect to say get to home and go to home.
138
I talk more about that in this lesson.
139
Also, get to can mean to reach a point.
140
I got to the final level of the video game and then I lost.
141
I started reading a book last night.
142
I only got to chapter two before I got tired and fell asleep.
143
We often use get to talk about different tasks and responsibilities.
144
In English, we use a lot of modal verbs to express things like necessity,
145
possibility, permission, etc. We also have semi-modal verbs like have got to.
146
Have got to is much more common in British English.
147
I have got to finish my homework.
148
Or more commonly with the contraction, I've got to finish my homework.
149
Have to is more neutral and more standard across different English dialects.
150
So I would usually say, I have to finish my homework.
151
Sometimes in very casual American English, have got to is reduced to got to.
152
And in fast speaking, got to is pronounced like gotta.
153
I gotta finish my homework.
154
You gotta relax, Linda.
155
I gotta go.
156
See you later.
157
If you get to do something, that means you have the opportunity or the chance to do something.
158
I love teaching English because I get to talk to so many people around the world.
159
I've worked at a travel agency for five years, but I haven't gotten to take a trip, not even once.
160
If you got to ask your favorite celebrity one question, what would you ask him or her?
161
Sometimes if you get something, that means you deal with something or handle something.
162
For example, if you're at home with your family and the phone rings, you can say, I'll get the phone,
163
or just, I'll get it, you're saying that you will answer the phone.
164
Similarly, if someone rings the doorbell and there are a few people available to open the door,
165
You can volunteer by saying, I'll get it.
166
Or maybe you're busy and you want another person to get it.
167
Frank, can you get that?
168
What?
169
The door.
170
If you notice that someone is struggling to carry something heavy, you might offer some help.
171
Let me get that.
172
Can I get that for you?
173
Imagine there's a situation at work that requires attention.
174
You could get it, but what if you don't want to get it?
175
Maybe the task is really difficult, or you just don't feel like doing it today.
176
Maybe you can get someone else to do it.
177
Hmm.
178
Another important sense of get is cause.
179
In English, there are many causative verbs which show the cause of a particular action or event.
180
Some of these verbs include let, have, make, get, etc. All of these verbs have a different feeling.
181
They each show different levels of responsibility and intensity.
182
To let someone do something means to allow or give someone permission.
183
But to make someone do something, you force someone to do it.
184
What if you just want to persuade or convince someone to do something?
185
Then you get someone to do something.
186
Notice the grammar.
187
With get, we need an infinitive with to.
188
So, how do you get someone to do something?
189
Maybe you give someone really good reasons why they should, or you ask many, many times,
190
or you offer some money or a favor.
191
Imagine you're at work and you really don't want to call a specific customer because you know he'll be very angry.
192
Maybe you should try to get your coworker to do it.
193
We know that he committed the crime.
194
Now we just need to get him to confess.
195
To confess means to say that you have done something wrong.
196
How can I get my children to eat more vegetables?
197
Now we've just talked about get as a causative verb.
198
earlier we talked about the get passive but what happens if we try to put these ideas together
199
well you get an advanced grammar topic the passive causative let's compare two sentences
200
i wash my car once per month uh wait that's too
201
formal once a month i get my car washed once a a month.
202
In both cases, you are responsible for causing the action to happen.
203
But in the second sentence, you are not the person who performs the action.
204
You don't wash the car yourself.
205
This is what the passive causative is all about.
206
You cause something to happen, but you don't actually do the action yourself.
207
This is extremely common when we talk about services or work done for you by another person.
208
The grammatical structure is get plus noun plus past participle verb.
209
After the storm, we decided to get our roof replaced.
210
I really need to get my nails done.
211
Have you gotten your wisdom teeth removed?
212
Wisdom teeth are the teeth that grow in the very back of your mouth when you're an adult.
213
In most states, you have to get your car inspected every year.
214
There are tons of informal expressions that use the verb get.
215
Today, we only have time to look at a few of them.
216
If you watch a lot of English movies and TV shows, you've probably heard people say something like,
217
I get it, or I don't get it.
218
In this context, get means to understand.
219
Hey, I have a joke for you.
220
Which room in your house do ghosts avoid?
221
The living room.
222
Wait, I don't get it.
223
Well, ghosts are not living.
224
They're dead.
225
Get it?
226
Oh, now I get it.
227
You can also get what, how, who, etc. I don't get why he wants to quit his job.
228
He always talks about how much he loves his company.
229
So what's the difference between get it and got it?
230
If someone asks got it, they're asking, is that clear?
231
Do you understand me?
232
But this can be very rude if you don't have a close relationship with someone, so I don't recommend asking someone this.
233
However, if you want to show that you understood someone's instructions or you understood someone's clarification,
234
you can say, got it.
235
You might hear, I've got it in another context,
236
like if you've suddenly thought of a good idea or a solution to a problem.
237
Wait a minute, I've got it.
238
I hope this lesson helped you understand more about this crazy little word.
239

Kontext & Hintergrund
Das Verb "get" ist in der englischen Sprache allgegenwärtig, aber vielen Lernern fällt es schwer, seine vielfältigen Bedeutungen zu beherrschen. Im Video werden 15 wesentliche Anwendungsweisen von "get" vorgestellt, gruppiert nach Bedeutungsfeldern, um das Lernen zu erleichtern. Neben der Grundform werden auch die verschiedenen Zeitformen (z. B. "gets", "got", "getting") und regionale Unterschiede bei der Vergangenheitsform (britisch "got" vs. amerikanisch "gotten") erklärt. Ein kostenloser PDF-Worksheet mit allen Infos ergänzt die Lektion – perfekt fürs Nacharbeiten!
Top 5 Phrasen für den täglichen Sprachgebrauch
- "Can I get a glass of water, please?" – Ein häufiger Satz in Restaurants, um etwas zu bitten.
- "Let me get a pen." – Bedeutet, sich etwas holen zu gehen (hier: einen Stift).
- "Do you want me to get you anything?" – Fragen, ob man jemandem etwas kaufen/holen soll.
- "Did you get a good score on your exam?" – Über Ergebnisse oder Erfolge sprechen.
- "The teen gets a year in jail." – Für Bestrafungen verwenden (hier: eine Gefängnisstrafe erhalten).
Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung
Um die Aussprache und den Sprachfluss zu verbessern, eignet sich Englisch Shadowing perfekt. So geht's: 1. Höre den Videoausschnitt zu "get" mehrmals an, um die Intonation und Betonung zu merken. 2. Wiederhole die Sätze sofort nach dem Sprecher – versuche, die Rhythmus und die Glottalstop-Laute (wie in "gotten") genau zu kopieren. 3. Konzentriere dich auf die verschiedenen Bedeutungen: Spreche die Phrasen in unterschiedlichen Kontexten (z. B. im Restaurant, bei der Einkaufsliste) nach. 4. Nutze den PDF-Worksheet, um die Sätze zu schreiben und dann laut vorzulesen. Mit shadowspeak-Übungen verbessern sich nicht nur die Aussprache, sondern auch das Verständnis für die Vielseitigkeit von "get". Übe täglich – schon bald wirst du "get" selbstbewusst verwenden!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | i've separated · I've also created · have been |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is pronounced · is reduced |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | down, which means · person who performs |
| Möglichkeit mit „might / may“ might/may + Verb – etwas ist möglich, aber nicht sicher | might be · might say · might offer |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
