Overview

Você já teve um colega de quarto que comeu seu iogurte sem pedir? Ou talvez um colega de trabalho que fala demais no Zoom? Todos temos pessoas em nossas vidas.
Algumas são ótimas, outras... difíceis. Em inglês, usamos uma frase especial para falar sobre essas vibrações: get along.
É simples, é comum e você vai ouvir em filmes ou ver no TikTok. Ela descreve a harmonia entre as pessoas, ou a falta dela! Se você gosta de alguém, você get along.
Se vocês brigam, vocês não get along. É fácil assim.
Você tem um melhor amigo? Provavelmente vocês se get along maravilhosamente bem. Este phrasal verb é uma potência social.
Ele descreve a qualidade de um relacionamento. Não significa necessariamente que vocês são melhores amigos, apenas que não há drama. Você pode get along com seu chefe, mesmo que não saiam para tomar uma cerveja.
No inglês britânico, costuma-se dizer get on, que significa exatamente a mesma coisa. Não deixe a preposição te confundir. Along dá a ideia de caminhar juntos; on dá a ideia de estar na mesma página.
Ambas estão 100% corretas. Se quiser parecer americano, use along. Se quiser parecer um personagem de Harry Potter, use on.
Simples, né? Só não tente get along com um leão faminto; essa piada costuma acabar mal para o humano.

How This Grammar Works

Isso é um phrasal verb. Significa que tem duas partes: o verbo get e a preposição along ou on. Juntos, eles criam um novo significado que não trata de movimento físico, mas de conexão emocional.
Você pode usar sozinho (ex:
We get along
) ou adicionar uma pessoa com with (ex:
I get along with my sister
). O verbo get é irregular, então você deve mudá-lo de acordo com o tempo verbal.
