Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is Learncraft Spanish.

Today we're going to learn the Spanish verbs that mean to use and to acquire.

Let's start with the word for acquire,

which is consegir.

This is spelled just like the words

con and segir put together,

C-O-N-S-E-G-U-I-R.

Con-S-E-G-U-I-R. Conseguer.

So, for example, I'm going to acquire a new suit.

I'm going to get a new.

In modern English, it feels a bit formal to use the word acquire.

We're more likely to use the word get.

So this sentence would be, I'm going to get a new suit.

But there's a big challenge with translating the word get from English into Spanish. In English, we use the word get to mean all kinds of things. For

example, when we say get out, we're not asking someone to acquire something, we're asking them to leave or to exit.

And actually, this happens almost every time we use the word get in English. Usually it's part of a

phrase where it actually means something else. So just for fun, I'm going to present a few phrases

that use get. And I want you to see if you can find an equivalent verb in English and also an equivalent verb in Spanish.

Let's start with get back.

Here's a sentence example.

I'll call you when I get back to the city.
