She got to the office - go to the office?

[user_gary]

She noted down my fax number so that she could send me the documents when she got to the office.


What is the meaning of `got to the office'. (I think: go to the office)

Is it right or something else?

Could you explain?

Got Means reached.

As I got the office, the rain started. But it cannot be "got to the office"

When she got to the office means when she arrived at the office and is correct.

As I got to the office is correct as it means As I arrived or reached the office.

As I got the office means As I received the office which woould be expressed as when I took over the rent of the office or bought the office or was given the office.

The rent was increased 100 percent as soon as I got the office.

Yes, 'get the office' means something. But not even I would assume that someone would wait until they came into possession of an office before sending a fax (and I think up some pretty extreme contexts, I know. )

I didn't understand what you are saying.

Could you repeat above your statement in some other way so that I could understand?

I was referring to the context of the original question - 'She noted down my fax number so that she could send me the documents when she got to the office.'

ps
I was saying that is unlikely that anyone would wait until they owned an office before sending a fax.
