There are no corrections necessary, but you may need to note the following:

  1. They wanted to get going on the construction of the building. (here ‘get going on’ = ‘begin work on’)
  2. He got through in the examination. (Here ‘get through in’ means he was successful in the exam and got a place on a course or similar. Please compare it with ‘He got through the examination’ (no ‘in’) which means he managed to complete the examination.)
  3. Settle the matter somehow or other. (somehow or other = in any way)
