TRANSCRIPT
Buttoned or open? Buttoned, opened. Open, okay. Hey, I was just getting dressed. Hey, everyone. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on "20 Passive 'Get' Expressions". So, a lot of you guys have been asking me for more lessons on the verb "get" because it is everywhere in English, so today I'm going to look at 20 expressions that you can use in the passive sense with "get". So, basically to do a passive sentence with "get", you have: "get" plus a past participle verb. In these sentences, "get" usually replaces the verbs "to be" or "become". Okay? So if you're speaking in the past with "was" or "were", you would just replace "was" or "were" with "got". If you're replacing the verb "I am", okay? You can just say: "I get" in the passive sense. I think it will make a lot more sense once you see some examples, because if you feel confused right now, after the examples you will say: "That's better. Okay. It's not so bad." And it's really not so bad, so let's look at the examples. We'll practice pronunciation in this lesson, too.
So, first: "Get asked". If someone asks you to do something, you get asked to do something. For example: "I got asked to work overtime." Someone asked me, probably my boss, definitely my boss asked me to work overtime, so I got asked to work overtime. Now, remember, here "get" is replacing a form of the verb "to be" or "become". So, you could say: "I was asked" in a standard past simple passive sentence. "I was asked to work overtime." But in speaking we often substitute "was" or "were", or other forms of the verb "to be" in passive sentences with "get". All right, let's look at some more examples.
"Get blamed". So, if you are blamed for something, this means someone accuses you of wrongdoing, of doing something wrong. So, for example: "She always gets blamed for everything." So, if you know, maybe your sister, someone in your family, a co-worker of yours is always accused of doing the wrong thing or is always accused of being the person who does the bad thing: "She always gets blamed for everything." I always got blamed for everything when I was a kid. Not really. Usually it was my youngest sister, but just an example. All right?
So, next: "Get caught". If you get caught doing something, this means someone saw you in the act of doing something, and it's something you didn't want other people to see. So, for example: "Don't do it. You're going to get caught." You'll often see this in, you know, crime dramas or movies where there's a bad guy, and the police catch the bad guy or, you know, a video camera catches the crime in action, so the criminal gets caught. So, if you are caught, you get caught, you are seen in the act of doing something that you don't want other people to see. Okay? So: "Don't get caught."
"Get done". So, to be completed. Right? So, for example: "The project got done on time." We finished the project. The project got done by us-passive sense-on time. All right? "The project was done", "The project got done".
Next: "Get dressed". You probably know this. I did a video on, you know, getting dressed and... What was it? "Get dressed" and "Get dressed up", yeah. Undressed and dressed up. So: "I was getting dressed when you called." I wiped that a little bit, sorry. But you see it. Right? Unless you're looking on your phone, in which case, just look at a notebook or something, or keep watching on your phone because the rest of this stuff is visible. So: "Get dressed". "I was getting dressed, I was putting my clothes on when you called me." Okay?
Next: "Get elected". So, in a political election: "She got elected President. She was elected by the people to become President". -"Who got elected?" -"She got elected."/"He got elected." Just so we don't date this video I'm not going to mention the most, you know, recent political situations happening in the world because we will all be angry, and we're not going to do that.
So: "Get engaged". So, before you get married, usually one of the people asks the other person to become their husband and/or become their wife, become their life partner, and they say... You can kind of see me. "Will you marry me?" […]

Hi Alex! I think that probably there are situations in which we must use 'get' instead of 'was/were' and also situation in which using 'get' doesn't make any sense. Could please explain the difference in usage in another video? Thanks in advance!

Birds fly in the sky... What would be it's passive
You would never say it. Haha. "The sky is flown in by birds." It's very very strange but possible. The active works best in this case.
Good method of teaching 👏
Could you answer if we use auxiliaries for questions and negative in such kind of sentences? With to be we can ask "were you invited?" With get we add did. Am I right? Your lessons are awesome, by the way.
Excellent lesson, thanks a lot!
hi. can you make a video explaining the difference between the words change, switch, trade, exchange and any other word that might mean the same thing.
Alex i give you two thumbs up. I find these words everywhere in English like get, make, do, take and have. So we have to break them down one by one., well done.
Hey there Alex! Hope you have a nice day. Greetings from India 😁😁😁

thanks u alex for your video! personally, as everyone, i think the ways to use get are several, and it's true. but, with your video i got it something more about it!
Alex you fooled us hhhhh, you skipped one (get Lost) you didn't explain it. please do it in an another video. thank you
If all of the examples are in the past why you use get (s present) in some of the sentences? Of course, in question I know the reason. Thanks for your answers.

Great teacher keep going with the videos
As a Turkish, I couldn't solve this problem: Why we can't say "A fish bone stuck in my throat" instead of "A fish bone got stuck in my throat" We use first one in Turkish Language. Sometimes I think, I am not able to learn English very well for a long time. :(
I mean why we use passive for this sentence.
Thank you for good examples of get expressions! I like them )
Thank you for your lesson, you are the best. Be bless !
You are the best!! Thank you very much!

Very nice video to understand about passive of get...
Very useful video for me! Thank you very much!
I was seeing the last episode of game of throne and you seems one actor who show in that series Hahajaa are twins??
Hi, Alex. Loved your explanation. I'm an English teacher in Brazil. And I'm really used to using get, but that explanation that it substitute the verb to be, I had never heard it before (it never occurred in my mind). I'd like to ask about "get hit" you gave the example of get hit by a car, that is when you're on foot, isn't it?! But if you're driving another can you used it?! "I had an accident, My car got hit." Is that correct?
Hi Marcel, that’s correct! Both of your sentences are good.
Hi Alex ….. You are the best of the best . You are a born teacher. Stay blessed !
thank you so much
thank you a million .you are fantastic ! !
alex, why don't you tell everything in single video, i have seen one more video of you about "get", i thought that's just get, now this, what next?, how long is "get", please cover each topic in single video
THANKS FOR TEACHING US, I LIKE YOU, RONNIE AND THAT NIGGA

Super Metroid
One of the greatest games ever made!
Learn English with Alex [engVid] I poorly sold It 15 years ago because It was bizarre af. When I had the Super Metroid I was too young for play It and had no clue about what happened in the game (I now neither).
Haha. That's okay. It was confusing for me at first too. Then I played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on Playstation, loved that game, and learned that it used similar game mechanics to Metroid and Super Metroid...then I fell in love with Super Metroid. :)
And there goes your new raised taxes. |
Hi! I’m from Brasil and I’ve been learning a lot from you. Thank you and keep going please 😊

set some example how do we use expression in future
Alex you are a very good teacher, I really like all vidios you made it, that's the way I'm learning English mkre and more Everyday, but I'm confused sometimes when I have to use the right verb in pass
Thanks a lot Dear Teacher Alex!
could you please expain to me why the native speaker say rices waters flours and juices ? these words are uncountable
Thank you Alex. You are great.
Thanks, Alex!
Thank you!
You're very welcome.
Why the people than speak English usually use the expression get + verb instead of verb ?
g.e. : "I got fired yesterday", instead of " I was fired yesterday"
I usually talk that expression GET + VERB is from evil, 😅😅😅 it's was created for got confused us.
"To get confused"
Marcel, as he said he get confused to use get+verb expressions but tried to use. What Lord Alex Engvid says, you know, "Never get tired of trying" and this is why we shouldn't get him blamed. We should get improve him like you do. Both of you guys so nice! :D
I think get V3 make it more action. I got fired = My boss fired me. I was fired = I'm an unemployed .
The differences between get V3 and be V3 1. get V3 is informal be V3 formal. 2. get V3 is more common. 3. get V3 expresses action and change. be V3 expresses state. 4. get V3 cannot be used for planned, major actions. (for example, with build) 5. get V3 sometimes can express state with interested, drunk, bored, confused, excited, tired.
Both of them are correct and you can use either. As a native speaker, I'd probably use "I got fired" rather than "I was fired."
Both are right
Thank you for this great lesson
Alex you are an amazing teacher. I understand all your lessons. I wish you were my teacher in real life, I would be more fluent.
Thank you so much, Amina. I'm glad the lessons are easy to understand. Even though I can't teach you in person, I hope you can still improve your skills with my RUclips lessons! :)
Thank youuu!
