Phrasal Verbs com GET: Todos os Significados e Exemplos
GET é o verbo mais versátil do inglês. Sozinho, significa “obter” ou “tornar-se”. Mas adicione uma preposição — up, over, on, away, through, out, along, by — e o significado muda completamente. “Get over” pode significar se recuperar de uma doença, subir por cima de um muro ou superar um término de relacionamento. “Get out” pode significar sair de um lugar, escapar de um perigo ou se tornar de conhecimento público.
