- The boat got in an area of shallow marshes.
- The thief got in through the window.
What is the meaning of ‘got in’ in each sentences?
Thanks.
Not a teacher. Not a native speaker.
In your second sentence it means “enter”.
In (1) ‘got in’ is not a good choice. It’s a poor way of saying:
The boat entered an area of shallow marshes.
Are you sure the original wasn’t
The boat got stuck in an area of shallow marshes?
That would be a much more logical way of using ‘got… in’ there.
