get + participio

Cuando a ‘get’ le sigue un adjetivo, adverbio o participio pasado, este verbo adopta el significado de pasar de un estado a otro, podría traducirse como ‘convertirse’.

Fíjate que en muchos casos este verbo sirve para reproducir la reflexividad de ‘se’.
Por ejemplo, ‘se aburrió’: ‘he got bored’.

En primer lugar, recordemos:
-El pasado de ‘get’ es ‘got’
-El participio es, en inglés británico ‘got’ y, en inglés americano  ‘gotten’.
 Ambos son correctos.
-El gerundio se forma doblando la última consonante ‘t’: ‘getting’.

Ya sabemos que ‘get’, en su forma más ‘común’,  y seguido de sustantivo, significa ‘obtener’, ‘lograr’ o ‘conseguir’.

El verbo 'to get' tiene muchos significados que podremos conocer por el contexto: volverse, recibir, empezar, obtener, llegar, traer…

Con adjetivos expresa estados: get tired, get angry.


to get + past participle - hacerse, volverse, ponerse

- English definitions are real English phrases with grammar and words. If you read them regularly, you will automatically memorize the grammar and words.
- English definitions let you learn more. You will often look up a word because it was part of the definition for another word. For example, if you look up the word "naughty", you might read:
If you say that a child is naughty, you think that he or she is behaving badly or is disobedient.
—Collins COBUILD English Dictionary—
(In adition to the definition, pay attention to the pronunciation: you can see the phonetic symbols and listen to the word /ˈnɔːti/ in British English and American English.)
If you don’t know the words disobedient and behave, you will have to look them up. So instead of one word, you will have learned three words!
Don’t be afraid of using an English-English dictionary. If you can understand this post, you can definitely understand the definitions in an English-English dictionary.
