  • An English ?teacher?explains how to use the word "get"

    teacher is missing in the description ;)

  • @MaxxwellTheLegend -- Thanks! I fixed it. 

  • when you don't understant someone and say "I'didn't get it" that means "I want you to explain what you've said" not "i didn't beleive you" right?

  • @jakalii -- That's right. You can say, "I don't get it," or "I didn't get that."

  • The third form for the verb "get" is "gotten" but i often hear some Americans use "got" in the perfect tense.is this correct?

  • @shafishinwari1 -- Yes, that's certainly okay, but most Americans use "gotten" for the present perfect: She's gotten sicker since I saw her last. / This situation has gotten to be very serious. -- Not everyone likes the way that sounds. People who have a preference for British English might find "gotten" to be a bit hard on the ears.
