General

The lesson teaches a variety of expressions with get including phrasal verbs and phrasal prepositional verbs. Many of these expressions are idiomatic - you cannot guess their meaning from the words that make up the expressions, which can make them difficult to learn. 

You will learn how to use two- and three-word inseparable verbs - verbs with an object that can only come after the final particle or preposition.
