Getting to Grips with Get

Hasil gambar untuk word get


          When I first read the title of the blog, I didn't really understand the meaning. However, I told myself that I should read this blog because it has long paragraphs (it's very interesting). At first, I didn't understand why someone would say this, "I'll never understand the word get. It has so many meanings!", but then, after reading the whole blog, I just realized that it is true. The word 'get' has many meanings, for example, get into line which indicates a change in position, he got drunk which indicates a change in state, get a pay rise which indicates a change in possession, etc. I think this is very useful for English learners and also English teachers, especially for those who just started learning about English.

  1. Hi Vena,
    it is same when I read this blog. Actually, I want to comment in my blog about "getting to grips with get" but when I want to write in blog, I had problem, so I just read that blog. But, when I read the blog I also did not understand because it has long paragraph and make me confused. Overall, the blog is very useful for English learners and English teachers.

  2. Hola Vena,
    after I read about your article, I just realized that simple word has lots of meaning that maybe ignored for several people. It was a simple example but that's really good tho. Thanks :)

    1. Hi Anggie! That's right, that word is a bit confusing to me, and this article really helps me to understand more about it. I hope you understand it too.

  3. Hi Vena,

    I'm glad you forced yourself to read the "get" article from ELTnotebook. Mastering collocations and phrasal verbs is a real struggle for English language learners. That's these blogs are powerful learning tools to clarify our confusions.

      You're right. I'm still learning about it and sometimes it's a bit confusing.

  4. Hi Vena!
    I agree with Miss Priska. It's great that you have forced yourself to read the blog which you have mentioned.
    Frankly, if I were you, I wouldn't force myself. Hehe. At first I opened all of the 6 blog then I chose the one which has the fewest word in each post. Hahaha...
    However, thank you for summarizing the post in the blog which you have mentioned above. :)
