Phrasal Verbs – Get Part III

This entry is part 5 of 12 in the series Phrasal Verbs

(This is a series on Phrasal Verbs.  There are hundreds of phrasal verbs and many of them have no relation to the words that form them.  When you are learning a new phrasal verb, I recommend learning it as a completely new piece of vocabulary, instead of trying to make sense of the two pieces of the word.)

 

There are even more phrasal verbs using the word “get.” The Portuguese translations are included.

Can’t get over – Ficar supresa

I can’t get over how much she looks like her sister. They are practically twins!

Get at – Dar uma indireta

You are giving me a lot of strange looks. Are you trying to get at something?

Get across – Communicar, Emphatizar

I need to get across the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise.
