3. I think I was hit by t

Wai Wai,
I thought you might be interested in this. In sentence 4, the idiom "to get to (someone)" is used. It doesn't mean "to get closer to (someone)"; it means "to bother (someone)", "to irritate (someone)". It's most typically used in the present (continuous) tense.
Examples.
The heat is getting to me.
The pressure at work is getting to him.
