Grammar
I have 2 questions
Hello.
The 1st one:
Can i say: "She'd ended up burning"?
And the 2nd one:
It's about Get/got + V3. I don't quite understand this rule. How do we use it and what's the diffrence between,for example: "I got stuck" and "I was stuck"? Or "I got robbed" and "I've been robbed"? Which words can we use with got/get?
Thank you.

- It's about Get/got + V3.
- How do we use it and what's the diffrence between,for example: "I got stuck" and "I was stuck"?
- Or "I got robbed" and "I've been robbed"?
- -- This structure is called the 'get'-passive, and the 'get'-passive emphasizes the action or the initiatory action more than 'be'-passive does: I was married last week / I got married last week I was attacked by a dog / I got attacked by a dog Compare its use with adjectives: I was hungry / I got hungry I was mad / I got mad Here you can see how 'get' indicates the action of the beginning of the condition, while 'be' indicates the condition .

Thank you very much!! Okay, I have some. "I get stuck" and "I stick". Does it have no difference either (btw is this a correct place to use "either" ? Or it'd be better use "too" or "also"?)
Can I say: "I got swallowed by a crocodile" or "I get humiliated every day"? Tanks a lot!

Thank you very much!! Okay, I have some. "I get stuck" and "I stick".-- We are not discussing active voice, so I presume you mean 'I get stuck' and 'I am stuck'.
Does it have no difference either - The difference is as with the adjectives above: 'get' suggests the sticking action and 'be' the stuck condition.
