<!-==text==begin==-> Hi Sandy!

Thanks somuch for your wonderful questions! Learning touse “get to” can be very confusing, so I’ll do mybest to make it easier for you!

Usually,when we say “get to know” we are referring to theprocess of knowing a person. Knowing a fact isclear: either you know it or you don’t. Knowinga person takes a little bit more time. You needto learn about their feelings and thoughts, theway they react to different situations. Thisprocess of learning about a person is called”getting to know somebody.”

The verb “toget” can mean many different things. When it isused in conjunction with other verbs is usuallymeans to have the opportunity to do something…for example:

“to get to go to the park”means to have the chance to go to the park, do yousee the difference between that and “to go to thepark”?

“to get to stay up late” means tohave the chance to stay awake later at night thanusual. Young children might use this term morefrequently that adults because they are notusually allowed to stay up past theirbedtime.

To “get going” is a slang termthat is commonly used. Literally it means tostart moving, but it can be used to describestarting a project: “I need to get going on mymodel train kit!” or leaving a place after stayingtoo long: “Well, it has been fun seeing you, but Ineed to get going.”

Are you confused yet?I am!!! I think this is enough for today, don’tyou? “Get” is a frustrating verb! If you havemore questions don’t be afraid to ask! I hopethat I helped you at least a littlebit.

Your friend,

I was not confusedbecause you explained very clearly.
Now Iunderstand why the “angels” in the movie”Charlie’s angels” said “so we finally get to meetCharlie” and not “finally meet Charlie” and yes,Ioften heard people say “get to know a person” andnot a fact.
Thank you so much.
Have a niceday!:) <!-==10658==871==end==->
