Are there any differences between getting out of the car and getting out of the car?
Is there such a rule:
get out of the car = get out of the
back window of the car to get out of the bag?
I’ve come across some British native speakers video, he wrote idioms: “let the cat out the bag”. I commented that there should be a preposition, of. Where do I see ‘of’ preposition dropped in all sorts of out of’ expressions? G.g. ‘Get out of the car!’ So
now I don’t understand. Is it correct to drop “of” in out of expression?
What is the best way to get my business ready for the future?
How did Andrew describe getting out the car?
It is pretty common in BVE, and I have heard it in rural AmEn and BrEn, but it is distinctly non-standard.
These are different phrasal verbs. “To get out from sometimes” means to
- exit (“She screamed at me to get out of the house”) to
- avoid (“You can get out from the meeting by telling the execs that you have a report due”) to
- remove (“How did you get out of the rain? Why should I get away with wet clothes? “You
- can get a lot of money out of this deal, if you get in early) to persuade or
- interrogate (“Fred, see what information you can get out of the suspect”) and others.
Meanwhile, to “get out” can mean: to
- leave (“The police stormed the office and told us all to get out “) to
- clean (“This new detergent will help get out even the toughest stains from your clothes”) to
- take out (“Please get out the flour and sugar from the pantry? How
- do you reveal (If word of this gets out,we’re in a lot of trouble”) to
- disseminate (Help us get out the word to vote this election”) and
others?
Because these verbs have different meanings, it’s important to memorize them as if they were separate verbs, and learn to use them in the appropriate context. Yes, certain British dialects do drop the prepositions from these phrasal verbs, but unless you also use other phrases characteristic of the dialect, it won’t sound right and can be confusing to the listener.
Is it a good call to get out the car from your example? By itself, you sound like you’re asking me to take out the car from something like a garage, so we can go for a nice drive.
