Let's look at each of these expressions that use a "verb + preposition".
Here are the most common ways that we use "get into" and "get out of". Remember that "into" means to enter and "out of" means to exit.
get into a car | get out of a car |
get into a taxi | get out of a taxi |
- She got on the bus.
- It was raining when he got out of the car.
- We will get out of the taxi at the end of this street.
- I saw her get in a taxi.
get on the bus | get off the bus |
get on a plane | get off a plane |
get on a ship | get off a ship |
get on the subway | get off the subway |
Note: Always use "the subway".
- We will get off the subway at the next stop.
- My family was happy when they saw me get off the bus.
- What time can we get on the plane?
For example, if I am riding the bus with my friend then I can just say, "When should we get off?". I don't need to include "the bus" because we both know that we are on the bus.
