We're getting excited....

We use the verb get + adjective to describe a changing physical or emotional state, and we often use the continuous form. For example: FC Barcelona fans are getting excited about the Champions League Final. Here are some more examples:


Let's stop arguing because I'm getting angry.


I'm getting tired and I want to go home.


He was getting hungry and he wanted to have lunch.


Are you getting excited about the wedding?


She could see that he was getting nervous.


Are you getting cold? Do you want to wear my jacket?




Of course, we can also use the structure with other verb tenses:



He got tired during the football match.


I wish she wouldn't get so angry at us!


Will you get cold if you don't bring your coat?


I would have gotten nervous if you hadn't called.


My brother gets really excited when his team wins.
