Casual English Booster! 20 Passive “GET” Phrases

“He was promoted” or “He got promoted”? Is there a difference? Yes! One is much more common in casual English. If you want to improve your conversational English – and learn some valuable grammar at the same time – this lesson is for you. I will teach you twenty common passive phrases that use the verb get. This video includes: “get fired,” “get arrested,” “get hacked,” “get paid,” “get told,” and more. Listen and repeat, and boost your casual English speaking skills.

As usual, it’s a pleasure learning English with you, Alex. I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. And you, are you continuing to learn French? Thank you, Alex.

Dear Alex, I appreciate your grammar lessons especially. I learnt in this class the difference between to be + Past Participle and to get + Past Participle. Both can be used meaning the same, the first one is formal, the second one is casual.
Thank you so much!
