"Get stranded" or "stranded"? What is the difference between them?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Hi Furkan! It depends on the context. You are probably asking about the difference between 'be stranded' and 'get stranded'. 'Get' is more emphatic and it means 'to become'.

I got stranded due to the strike. I had not expected this.
I was stranded for several days due to the strike. It was a terrible experience.

Thank you for the question. Have a good day and stay safe!
