As I touched on in the last episode, today we’re going to learn how to use the phrase ‘to get over’ – we’d use it when we want to express a surprise.
So now that you’ve been learning English for some time, now you know that the phrase ‘get over’ is used a lot in the English language.
Using ‘get over’ to express a surprise, more closely expressing the feeling of being astounded, shocked and appalled.
Like, ‘oh, my god, I can’t believe it’ – that type of shock.
The reason I wanted to include this phrase in today’s episode is because I wanted you to remember this particular phrase. I know what you guys do, you listen to the podcast and an hour later you forget what you’ve heard. It’s not just you. It’s human nature.
Today’s phrase is used a lot by native speakers. It’s used in an informal setting, when you’re with your friends.
