Soem questions about get:
may I say:
I got seen, I got picked up, I got served, I got taught...
I got laughed at me, I got brought, I got paid......

You write fast. O_O

I agree with teacher. Get makes the sentence more appealing. Without get the sentence sounds so simple.
-
Oh thank you so much, could you please explain some rules of pronunciation?
-
Hi teacher! I'd like to know if i can use Got instead of Gotten and which one is more popular?

Your videos are better and better

Please, teacher, don't get me wrong, I may can make mistakes with that. In the sentence "My car is fixed by mechanic" sounds like something that always happens and in the sentence "My car get fixed by mechanic" sounds like this time is a mechanic who fix the car.

your explanation is very clear... but what is the use of it?
I mean... what is the purpose?... why is it neccessary to change the verb to be to GET?

@maocolombiarxn -- Well, this is a hard thing to explain. You don't have to change the verb "be" to "get." However, compare these two sentences: He was killed in an accident. / He got killed in an accident. Do you see or hear any difference? The verb "get" imparts a slightly different meaning. The verb "get" underscores the action a little more. Here's another example: The children were fed. / The children got fed. -- There's a small difference in these two sentences.
