"Get" is one of the most useful verbs in English. We use it for obtaining, receiving, becoming, and many everyday actions.
("Get" ইংরেজির সবচেয়ে দরকারী ক্রিয়াপদগুলির মধ্যে একটি। আমরা এটি প্রাপ্তি, গ্রহণ, হওয়া এবং অনেক দৈনন্দিন কাজের জন্য ব্যবহার করি।)
However, "get" doesn't go with every word. For example, we say "get a job" – not "take a job" (though that's also possible in some contexts). We say "get married" – not "make married".
(তবে "get" প্রতিটি শব্দের সাথে যায় না। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, আমরা "get a job" বলি – "take a job" নয়।)
📝 "I need to get a job after graduation." – Sounds natural, right?
📝 "পাস করার পর আমার চাকরি পেতে হবে।" – স্বাভাবিক শোনায়, তাই না?
❌ "I need to do a job after graduation." – Not quite natural!
❌ "পাস করার পর আমার চাকরি করতে হবে।" – খুব স্বাভাবিক নয়!
