Going to be/get bullied
I was afraid I was going to be/get bullied.
1) Are they completely the same?
2) Is "get" almost as natural as "be" in spoken English?
Top answer
anonymous 1) Are they completely the same? 'get' is lower register than 'be', but the meaning is the same. Lower register words are more likely to be used in speaking; higher ones, in writing.
