1. get to+静态动词；与come to +静态动词可以通用。首先大家要明白什么是静态动词？所谓的静态动词就是像know\be\understand\love\like\hate\realize等这样的动词自己没有动作的起点，就称之为静态动词；要使这样的动词具有起点的含义，常常需要加上get to或come to；这种功能也可以使瞬间动词慢下来，从而具有延续动词的一些用法或含义（本人前期文章有论述）。get（come） to+静态动词；有两种含义，
(一)、表示静态动作的开始，即动作的起点：
How did you come (get) to know him?
你是怎么认识（上）他的？
I shall get to like them in time, I suppose.
我想我会喜欢上他们的。
I’ll never get to understand him.
我永远也不会理解他。
And for the first time, I came to realize how my personal choices could impact my husband’s political future.
我第一次开始意识到，我的个人选择会影响到我丈夫的政治前途。《亲历历史》
(二)、表示静态动词“逐渐开始、慢慢开始”的一段转化过程：
Over the next few days they got to know the town well.
在随后的几天里他们就慢慢地熟悉了这个城市。
I really wanted to get to know America.
我真想逐渐了解美国。
I shall get to like them in time.
经过一段时间我会变得喜欢他们的。

After a time you get to realize that these things don't matter.
你过些时候就知道这些事无关紧要。

注意：get doing主要用于非正式文体中，通常表示某种特定动作的开始，尤其用于get moving, get going, get thinking等搭配中。如：

They soon got talking together. 他们不久就开始谈了起来。
