the past. It can also be used to talk about states and feelings in the past when you
remember or think about past events or activities.

Get and go are two of the most common “delexical verbs” in English. Verbs such as get, go,
make, do, take, and have are called “delexical” because they change their meaning depending
on the expressions in which they are used.
Get is used with the following meanings:
• Obtain or receive: get a gift, get a sunburn
• Become: get lost / scared / sick
• To arrive: get home / back
It is also used as a phrasal verb in the expression “to get along (with)”.
Go is used in the following ways:
o Before -ing forms: go hiking / snorkeling
o With the infinitive: go to see a band
o In the expression “go on a trip”
