Please help me with these sentences.
Summer season has started/set in.
Winter season has ended.
Time is changing.
Can I write those sentences in this way also?
Summer season has got started/set in.
Winter season has got ended.
Time is getting changed.
Are both type of sentences correct?
Are both type of sentences giving the same meaning.
Please I need a satisfactory answer

Hi Rida,
I canât see the point of using the âgetâ constructions. I would add âtheâ to summer and winter.

Hi Mr. Alan,
Please could you elaborate your answer? I couldnât get you.
Is it wrong to use âgetâ there?
Are those sentences giving the same meaning with âhasâ and âgotâ ?
Please clear my confusion

Put plainly, I wouldnât use âgetâ the way it is used in your sentences.
Is it more natural to say:
âSummer has set in.â
or
âThe summer season has set inâ?
Are both natural?
Thank you.
Of those two, probably âSummer has set in,â but only because it is shorter and people tend to use shorter options.

My post has disappeared and so I will repeat. For me âset inâ is often associated with something unpleasant such as - The rainy season has set in.
