✉️ The Magic of GET in English!

Hey there! 👋

Let’s be honest… the verb GET in English is like that one mate at a party who somehow manages to do everything. 🎉

Wanna buy something? → You “get” it.
Need to become rich/famous/hungry? → You “get” it.
Trying to understand what your English teacher just said? → “Ahh, I get it!”
Even when you earn money – yep, you guessed it: you “get” it.

Basically… if you’re ever stuck, just throw in GET and you’ll probably be right 😂.
