 today this is Marc. I'm doing great, thanks for asking. He got stuck in traffic going to work this morning. The puppies are getting fed by the vet assistant. They will get fired if they don't follow orders. In this lesson, we're going to look at GETS passive. So stay tuned. Let me tell you first that I have a lot of lessons on GET, so if you wish to watch all those lessons, you may click here. GET by itself means buy, receive, or obtain, understand, fetch, experience, become, pay attention to become, come, go, make progress, catch, or learn. Let's look at some examples. Can you get me a glass of water? GET in this case means fetch. Another example, the police got the burglar after intensive investigation. GOT in this case means catch, so caught in the past. The second point is GET plus adjective. If you add an adjective after GET, it means become. So become and thus it becomes reflexive. So for example, Justin got asleep after watching the movie. So GET asleep, so become asleep. Justin got asleep after watching the movie. Or another example, we'll get fat if we eat all that. So become fat. Now another usage is as a phrasal verb, so GET plus particle. Gossip can get around fast. Gossip can get around fast. Get around means become known. If you wish to watch a lesson on phrasal verbs, you may click here. Now the fourth point is GET plus ready. So PREPARE YOURSELF. This is what it means. PREPARE YOURSELF. Like for example, let's get ready to go out. Let's prepare to go out. Let's get ready to go out. Or another example, why don't you get the dinner ready for us? In this case, we have GET plus something plus ready. So why don't you get the dinner ready for us? Now the fifth point and this is what the lesson is made for, the passive GET. Passive GET and we use it informally and be careful because it can slightly change the meaning of a sentence. It's used with dynamic or action verbs and if you don't know what a dynamic or a stated verb is, you may click here to watch that lesson. You know that to make a passive, we need the verb to be plus the past participle, right? In this case, we replace the verb to be with GET. So GET plus past participle. Let's take a look at my examples. He got punished for his ill conduct. So in this case, we have the past simple passive. See, he got himself punished as opposed to he was punished for his ill conduct. So in the first case, we have like kind of he got himself punished. So it was his fault that he got punished. He got punished, he got himself punished instead of he was punished for his ill conduct. So the the meaning can change, can slightly change. Another example, they will get fired if they don't follow orders. This is the future simple passive as opposed to they will be fired if they don't follow orders. They will get themselves fired. So it's their fault, right? It's their fault that they are probably not coming on time for work or they have other problems and they get themselves fired. So the other example was so the puppies are getting fed by the vet assistant. So in this case, we have the present continuous passive as opposed to the puppies are being fed by the vet assistant. Beware, like I said before, only with dynamic or action verbs. So nothing was known about the lesson. You cannot say nothing got known. You cannot say it. Why? Because no is a state of verb or a state verb. Now I'm going to ask you to write the passive get in this sentence. They've been injured while playing rugby. So I repeat, they've been injured while playing rugby. Yes, you can type your answer under this video. If you have any comments or requests, type them also there.
