Hey everyone, just a quick lesson on this rainy Sunday before I go make dinner ^_-
Do you usually get along with your classmates?
Get along is a phrasal verb that simply means two(or more) people have a good relationship with each other. They don't fight or dislike each other.
When we were kids my brother and I didn't get along... we fought like cats and dogs~!
Ugh, I don't get along with that guy. He's a total jerk.
Since we shared an apartment, we don't get along anymore. I can't stand him, he's an idiot and a slob.
My girlfriend and I get along great! We hardly ever argue or fight ^_^
Here's a bonus phrasal verb:
get by
This means:
-to survive
I'm just getting by since I lost my job.
The money I have is just enough for me to live and survive.
She gets by on her looks.
She survives/lives based on her appearance.
-to pass someone/something
Excuse me, could you move so I can get by?
Excuse me, can you move so I can pass you?
or
A few mistakes got by my editor into the book.
A couple of mistakes got passed my editor into the book.
-to achieve the minimum necessary
In high school, he just got by.
He had passing grades only.
OK that is all for now!
