When I was a teenager, I had a very good friend who really got me. Even when my parents didn\u2019t get me, and other teenagers didn\u2019t get me, I felt like she always got what I was feeling and knew how to help me with my problems. She is still my good friend, and she still gets me. even better, she helps me when I don\u2019t get my own feelings. Do you have a friend who gets you like that?<\/p>\n
In my last post, the first verb group<\/a> that I listed was main verbs. Main verbs are verbs that sho an action or a state of being. Get can be used to replace, or as a synonym for many main verbs. This post will tell you about the easiest meaning of \u201cget.\u201d<\/p>\n The easiest synonym to learn for \u201cget\u201d is \u201cunderstand.\u201d It means to understand in a general way, with your mind. And it means to understand something in a deep way, with your mind and heart.<\/p>\n For example, my first post about using \u201cget\u201d was just to help you get, (understand), the idea that \u201cget\u201d is a big topic and very important. The post was not written to help you learn everything about \u201cget,.\u201d I just wanted you to get, or understand the topic in a general way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My friend understood me in a deep way when i was a teenager and she still understands me.<\/p>\n When I was a teenager, I had a very good friend who really got me.<\/p>\n She is still my good friend, and she still gets me.<\/p>\n Another common use of this meaning is with jokes. When we understand them and laugh at them, we can say that we get the jokes. Not many people get jokes when I tell them, but when I make a joke about the situation, people usually get it. I especially love it when my students get my humor.<\/p>\n And now it is time for you to practice. What sentence\/s can you make using this meaning of \u201cget?\u201d And can you answer the question from the paragraph at the beginning of the post? Do you have a friend or relative who really gets you?<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kb6iRw0b-JU<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Good Friend When I was a teenager, I had a very good friend who really got me.
