I head someone scolded in a loud voice.

I came across this expression 'I heard someone get scolded in a loud voice.' in a textbook (published in  Japan.)

I wonder if the sentence without 'get' is grammatically correct.

Also, if 'get' cannot be omitted, I would like to know the reason.

Thank you in advance.

What's the weather like in L.A.? I'm visiting there on the new years days.

Grammar question. "The boy sat on the wall with his legs dangled". Is dangled acceptable?

In formal writing, which is preferred? "I am older than he. / than he is / than him."

「昼食は用意しております」を英訳してください。

'He had us laughing.' is grammatically correct. Is 'He made us laughing' also correct?

Is there any difference between 'I came to like it' and 'I got to like it'

What does this sentence mean? "Don't cast off your dreams"
