It's getting dark, it is dark

By -
Get is a very common verb in English, and it is used in several structures that have different meanings.
When followed by an adjective, get often means ‘become’, or ‘start to be’. If you get angry you become angry, and if you get sick you start to be sick.
The same meaning is expressed when get is followed by a past participle like dressed or lost: when you put on clothes you get dressed; if you travel without a map, you might get lost – or become lost.
These adjectives and participles are also found after be. The difference is that get expresses a change, whereas be describes a state:
They got married in 2005, but they got divorced in 2010.
They were married for five years.

It’s getting dark.

It is dark.
This is also the difference between be used to and get used to:
I live in Scotland, so I am used to the rain.
When I moved to Britain, I got used to driving on the left. (I wasn’t used to it before; I became used to it in Britain.)

Confused or confusing?

In English we often use adjectives like bored and interested to say how we feel. A story, a situation, or another person can make us feel intrigued , embarrassed, or disappointed . We are often tired or stressed after a working week, and relaxed at the weekend. Surprised, depressed, amused, annoyed, and puzzled are other examples of –ed adjectives that express how people feel. They all come from verbs, and each of them has a relative – another adjective ending in – ing. The words in pairs like shocked/shocking and bored/boring look so similar because they come from the same verbs – shock and bore . Both confused and confusing come from confuse , although they have different meanings – which is confusing for some people. In such pairs, the –ing adjective describes what makes you feel in a certain way, while the –ed adjective describes how you feel. So, when something is interesting (it interests you), you are interested (you feel interested).

Go home, walk home

Go is the most common verb of movement in English. Most of us spend the whole day going places – we go to school, we go to the cinema, and we go to other countries, for example. We can go home on foot , go to the shops by car , or go to work by bike . Instead of go , however, we often use other verbs that describe how the movement happens. So, I may walk home, drive to the shops, or cycle to work. Some of these verbs of movement can take an object – if I walk the children to school , I accompany them on foot. Similarly, I can walk my dog (when I take it out for a walk) or drive somebody to the airport (if I give them a lift to the airport in my car).
