".. and with his eyes told me to get hurry".
Vs
"..and with his eyes told me to hurry".
Need support.
Hi, Aditya.
The second sentence, "...and with his eyes told me to hurry" would be correct.
Another variation (that I would use) is "... and with his eyes told me to hurry up."
As to your second question (to get happy, to get jealous):
If I write forms of these in sentences, "He is getting jealous" sounds very natural. You could also write "He is becoming jealous."
However, to me, "He is getting happy" does not sound natural. I would write "He is becoming happy". Yes, as I think about it, "to GET happy" sounds very unnatural.
I hope this helps.
Hi!
"To get happy
To get jealousWhy with the same reasoning the sentence cannot be correct -
Why not to "get hurry".."
To get hurry is erroneous as "get" and "hurry" are both verbs (action words)
whereas in "to get happy" and "to get jealous" both are okay since happy and jealous are adjectives
However, it is more natural to use "to be happy" and "to be jealous"
"and with his eyes told me to get a hurry on"
to get "a hurry on" = an idiom that is not used so often now; it means get hurrying /moving /go faster.
"and with his eyes told me to get hurrying"
this would be the same and is grammatically correct
