to get on (well)
|
|
I haven �t been here for so long. I need your help.
to get on means to have good relations.
we can say also to get on well and it still means the same.
Nevertheless how can I say not to have good relations?
Is there any phrasal or expression that sounds kind of same?
Thx in advance. |

I said so to my students. But unfortunately i think it �s not correct. According to the dictionary to get on means to have smooth relations ( so it �s like having good relations itself). Well is only the addition. So get on badly would not make a sense.. Am I right? |

This is slightly off-topic, but not too much. In the USA, we say "get along with" or "don �t get along with" to mean having good or bad relationships with people. On our side of the pond, "get on with" something means to hurry up and do it already. |

I would then say : �we don �t get on/along �...that would make it a perfectly correct phrase.

In the UK, we use They don �t get along, They don �t get on and They don �t get on very well. |

This is how I use this phrase:
Get on with your work! = Do your work now instead of talking etc.
Sorry, I can �t talk now I have to get on with marking these tests.
He gets on very well with his mother-in-law.
He doesn �t get on with his mother-in-law, so he doesn �t like it when she visits.
He and his brother don �t get on very well.
They get on really well together.
She is hard to get along with because she argues all the time. |

I feeling tells me:
doesn �t get on (too) well with.. (definitely not a US English though)
but I can �t support it. |
