[@krishnacreation9211]

What's the difference between " I am getting late " " I am being late " Or " It is getting dark" " It is being dark "

Can we use the two exemple on one context like this? - I was so busy at work in the office when I got asleep on the desk !

[@JForrestEnglish]

We don't say "got asleep". We say "fell asleep". Not every expression uses get/be. Many expressions use different verbs :)

[@abdenacerharouni9234]

Thank you for correcting. I'm sorry for this mistake.

Having watched this awesome video, I would like to ask something, related to it, that I still can't figure out. Some time ago, I used the structure ''I got surprised'' and was subsequently told that it is incorrect. But is it really ?

Go for it!

Can I use this in passive voice form...e.g the boy was got angry by her mom

I got nervous when I heard some bad news My sister was sleeping when I reached her home .

Wonderful!

[@jorgemello780]

Could 'get' be used in this way= Get + past participle (passive voice) ? Does it have the same meaning that be + past participle? Ex: get (be) bitten.

[@JForrestEnglish]

Yes, you can in certain cases.
