Get

[David Stephensen]

Get é uma palavra com muitos usos em Inglês.

Conjugação
Presente:

He, she, it gets

Passado:
I, he, you, we, they got

Gerúndio:
getting

Particípio:
got

Nota:
Norte-americanos frequentemente usam gotten ao invés de got. Na verdade, essa versão dessa palavra é antiga, como muito inglês norte-americano. Ninguém nas outras partes do mundo fala inglês usa essa forma. Não é um erro, só é antigo, mas parece ser um erro nos nossos ouvidos.

Nice job!! Please, keep on giving us these clarifying explanations. I didn't know that there were differences between the american participle form of "get" and the other forms. Good to know!
