¡Hola! Soy Georgiana, fundadora de SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. En este episodio seguiremos trabajando algunos de los phrasal verbs más frecuentes.
Después practicarás gramática con una historia desde distintos puntos de vista.
Recuerda: no necesitas aprender todos los significados posibles. Es mucho más útil dominar uno o dos usos frecuentes de cada expresión.
Hoy jugaremos con el verbo get.
Get along / get on
Significa llevarse bien con alguien.
Ejemplos: "I'm surprised how well I get along with my mother-in-law." / "The older and younger members get on well."
En este sentido, get along y get on pueden utilizarse de forma muy parecida.
Go back / Come back / Get back
Para entender estas expresiones, recuerda primero la diferencia entre go y come: normalmente usamos come cuando el movimiento se acerca al hablante y go cuando se aleja o se dirige a otro lugar.
Al añadir back expresamos la idea de volver.
Ejemplos: "Jim, come back from the supermarket." / "Tomorrow, Jim will have to go back to the supermarket."
Get back también significa volver o regresar y suele sonar bastante natural en conversaciones informales.
Ejemplos: "We didn't get back from the movies until midnight." / "Call me when you get back."
Get by
Significa arreglárselas o salir adelante cuando la situación no es perfecta.
Ejemplos: "I can get by with this old computer." / "My English is not fluent, but I think I can get by in London."
Get over
Get over significa recuperarse, superar o aceptar un problema o una situación difícil.
Ejemplos: "John will need some time to get over the surgery." / "Please, get over it!"
Get together
Significa reunirse con alguien, normalmente por motivos sociales.
Ejemplo: "Let's get together this weekend. We can have a pizza."
Get in / get on
Se utilizan para entrar en un medio de transporte. Normalmente get in se usa con un coche, mientras que get on se utiliza con autobuses, trenes y otros transportes en los que subimos.
Ejemplos: "Please, get in the car." / "They get on the bus."
Get out / get off
Para salir de un coche solemos decir get out. Para bajar de un tren, autobús o barco usamos normalmente get off.
Ejemplos: "Let's get out of the car." / "This is our subway stop. Let's get off."
Get up
Get up significa levantarse de la cama. No es exactamente lo mismo que wake up: primero te despiertas y después te levantas.
Ejemplos: "I got up early today to go to the gym." / "Tomorrow, I'll get up later than usual."
Hoy hemos visto: get along / get on, get back, get by, get over, get together, get in / get on, get out / get off y get up.
Ahora pasemos a la parte práctica.

Primera versión Pasado |
The alarm rang at 6 o'clock, and Alice woke up. After ten pleasant minutes in bed, she finally got up and brushed her teeth. After that, she had a lovely cappuccino that was prepared with a new coffee machine. Delicious! It was getting late, so she got in the car and started the engine. But wait! She forgot the documents for the presentation. She got out of the car, and she got back home. It was getting late! She got in the car again, and she drove to the office. As usual, there was a traffic jam. She hated it when traffic was terrible, but she needed to learn to get over it because there was nothing she could do.
When she got to the office, she said hello to Sam, one of her colleges. Alice and Sam got along very well. They were friends.
That day, she had an important presentation. She was nervous, but she knew she would get by. It wasn't the first time she had to give a presentation.
After the presentation, her boss asked her to get together in his office. He offered her a better salary! She went back home very happy.

Ok, this is the end of this short lesson. As you can see, just by changing a point of view of the story, you can learn grammar intuitively. Today we've practiced the phrasal verbs using two different tenses: past and present.
