please tell me how can we Use of get + past participle and identify in sentence?
I got injured.
He will get married.
Please tell me by example.
In these sentences, "get" and forms of "to be" seem to be interchangeable. I prefer the forms of "to be," but to use forms of "get" in sentences is okay.
Read the examples here:

This webpage has really good explanations and examples, too.

Certainly! The structure "get + past participle" is used to form the passive voice in English. It is a construction used to describe actions that happen to the subject, rather than actions that the subject performs.
Here are the examples you provided:
1. "I got injured."
In this sentence, "I" is the subject and "got injured" is the passive construction. To form the passive voice, we use the past participle of the verb "injure" (which is "injured") after the auxiliary verb "got". The sentence indicates that the action of getting injured happened to the subject (in this case, "I").
2. "He will get married."
In this sentence, "He" is the subject and "will get married" is the passive construction. Again, we use the past participle of the verb "marry" (which is "married") after the auxiliary verb "will get". The sentence indicates that the action of getting married will happen to the subject ("He") in the future.
Here are a few more examples to help you understand the usage further:
- The house got cleaned by a professional cleaner.
- The project hasn't gotten completed yet.
- They got caught by the police.
- My car got stolen yesterday.
In all these sentences, the action is happening to the subject, and the word "get" is used as an auxiliary verb to form the passive voice with the past participle of the main verb.
I hope that helps clarify the use of "get + past participle" and how to identify it in a sentence! Let me know if you have any other questions.
