  • Thanks everyone for the kind messages and corrections like Expector Smith did.

  • Oh you get 19 get collocations. Really well done!
  • Well done! dear Daniel. You got the hang of collocations well.:D

  • Hi friends,

    I get a bit confused but didn't get tired at all :)

  • hi, Daniel! It gets past me how you've done it. Do you get your hand in all phrasal verbs and idioms or just in 'get'? As for me, this topic gets a bit beyond me. I've got onto a good idea for practising a bit, so I'm getting your challenge. Do you get a bang out of writing that stuff? I really thank you, because now I've got a handle on using the verb 'get'. Actually, I think, it's a magic word: if you can't get all English verbs off by heart, you can get only one verb 'to get' and you'll be able to get any thought over to the minds of English-speaking people. However, I assume that some people here may be not able to get at the meaning of my message, but there are always some others who can get across. I got a bit tired of all that stuff. Has anybody else got tired? Get a grip, guys!    

  • Nice blog, dear Daniel. Your post taught me how and when to use "get". I also want to take part in this challenge, but it is difficult for me to understand what collocations are. :( 

  • Great!

    Yes, 'get' can be so versatile, not to mention all the phrasal verbs with it, which could drive you up the wall

    Re corrections: these two sentences need improving:

    1. "...into the boss' office, avoid get drunk, and never get wet your clothes."  Note: you say 'avoid doing something' not 'avoid do or to do something'. You can say 'make sure your clothes don't get wet' instead of 'get wet your clothes'.

    2. 'The psycological factors really influence on your work efficiency, besides make you get upset .'  Note: you say 'someone or something influences a person or situation' not 'influences on...'. You say ' besides doing something' not 'besides do something'. 

    Hope you get it!
