By "got passed" (incorrect), you may be thinking of "got past", which means "progressed beyond", sometimes with the sense of "overcame".

"I got past the exam" is possible, and means more or less the same thing as "I passed the exam". But it's less likely; normally you'd say "I passed (the exam)".

"These huge colums consist of once-molten igneous rock which was intruded into other sediments,
or deposited or later covered with other sediments." ( The description of Devil Tower in Wyoming)

Does 'was intruded' simply mean the same as 'intruded'?
'I got passed the exam.' means the same as 'I passed the exam.'?

Thank you.

Is it possible to say " we got started already."
