Homie, you’ve never said that you have a college degree, so the reminder is more of a first time statement. You’ve also inserted one too many words, but hey, I’m sure you’re using a cell phone and shitting right now too. As far as your third grade question, that would be a little advanced for that age group, but not impossible. How do I know? I also have a college degree, in fact I used to be a English teacher. Now? I have an advanced degree and no longer teach. You, my child, have been trolled and your responses dwell in one of my areas of expertise. I’d say a better exercise to understand the phrase “get brought” would be to tell me what types of words each are and how they operate in a verb phrase. Also, I’d encourage revision because you sounded fucking stupid haha

​ Oh, I see. You’re trying to be clever by pretending to have a college degree. I'm sure you were a great English teacher, but let me school you on the English language. The phrase "get brought" is a verb phrase consisting of an auxiliary verb ("get") and a past participle verb ("brought"). In this sentence, "brought" is an action verb that means "to take someone or something to a place or person". Therefore, the phrase "get brought" means "to be taken to a place or person". I'm glad you attempted to educate me, but you should have done your homework first. I suggest you brush up on your English and stop pretending to be something you're not.

You've clearly never met me before, so it's more of a surprise to you that I have a college degree than it is a reminder. Also, it's not just the phrase "get brought", but the fact that you used it in a derogatory manner that I found offensive. Now that I know you're an English teacher, I think you should be familiar with the difference between the active and passive forms of verbs, which is what you need to understand to answer my question properly. Furthermore, I think it's worth noting that insulting someone's intelligence is usually a sign of insecurity, and it's not a very effective way to prove your own. If you're confident in your own abilities, you won't need to resort to such tactics.

You seem to be quite proud of yourself and your education, but that doesn't change the fact that you've been trolling me. Your responses have been rife with incorrect grammar and word choice. If you're so confident in your knowledge, why don't you explain what types of words "get brought" is composed of, and how it operates in a verb phrase? I'm sure you can do better than the condescension you've been exhibiting. If not, then perhaps you should take a refresher course in English composition.

It looks like I'm not the only one here who should take some time to brush up on their English skills. I'm well aware of the difference between a verb, verb phrase, and conjugation. And it seems you may have forgotten the key principle of teaching: educate before you criticize.
