English grammar
Get-Passive
Native speakers often use "get" instead of "be" to form passives, especially when the event is sudden, affects the subject, or has emotional weight. "She got promoted." "I got hit by a car." "They got caught." Replaces "be + past participle" in casual speech, and carries a stronger sense of something happening to someone.
get/got/gets/getting + past participle
