like :
I'll get married (by a priest). Get is sometimes used instead of 'be' to form the passive.
Before I Get Old . Yes, here get means become or start to be.

here it mean like become or what ?

Some more examples:
He gets really upset if you mention his baldness.
Is your cold getting any better?
Your coffee's getting cold.
After a while you get used to all the noise.

thank you a lot =")
He gets really upset if you mention his baldness.<< here instead of be
Is your cold getting any better? << instead of become
Your coffee's getting cold.<< instead of become
After a while you get used to all the noise << instead of become

Are these comments right ?
And when can I use [get] instead of [become]or [be] ?
I'll get married (by a priest)
Here can I use be instead of get ?if No , can you explain it ^^"
and why did you add [Will] ? isn`t right if I say : I get married by a priest ? ^^"++
Sorry if I bothered you ^^"

Are these comments right ?Yes. 3 out of 4. You are getting better!
And when can I use [get] instead of [become]or [be] ? Use get if you want to sound informal but be careful as get does not always work as in:
I became aware of...not I got aware of...
Also I never heard anybody say "I want to become rich" but I want to get rich". Try to listen to what and how native speakers use "get", if you get the chance. Otherwise there is no rule, I am afraid.
I'll get married (by a priest)
Here can I use be instead of get ?if No , can you explain it ^^"I think "get married" is a fixed expression. It is the way people use it.
and why did you add [Will] ? isn`t right if I say : I get married by a priest ? ^^"++ I get married means that you do it repeatedly/regularly. That is simply not possible.
Sorry if I bothered you ^^"You never do.

NOT A TEACHER

The use of be conveys a sense of state, while the use of get means a change of state.

True, but in sentences like:
I was caught,
I was fired,
I was hit,
He was killed.
I was married by a priest.
"be" conveys also a change of state.

I was talking about the examples by GLOSS:

[get + adjective] = change of state
I got married at the age 34.
I get extremely tired every time I run on the treadmill.

[be + adjective] = state
I am married to an Englishwoman.
I am extremely tired; I have been running on the treadmill.

In your examples it's informal to use get in place of be. It's shear passive voice, actually.

Again =], then why can`t I use [got] instead of [was] in fifth example ?
You said :

Get is sometimes used instead of 'be' to form the passive.

^^" , But we used [get] in fifth example before , and here used [be 'was']
Or we only use get If the .. the sentence ... , I`m confused >_<
sorry ='( , I`m stupid .


engee30

[get + adjective] = change of state
I got married at the age 34.
I get extremely tired every time I run on the treadmill.

Wow , you really help me by writeing these grammar ^___^
Then my Q top , this is its answer ?

[be + adjective] = state
I am married to an Englishwoman.
I am extremely tired; I have been running on the treadmill.

Wow these is another grammar ^_________^


Thank you all, If you are buzy , your replies are treasure for me

Hi, Gloss!
You are welcome!
What do you mean by "in fifth example"?It is a difference between:
I was married=I got married. It is passive form. And:
I am married. It is not passive form.

"Get" can be used instead of "be" in the passive.

Cheers

thank you very much =")
This answer solved that problem in my head^^

what I meant before that : can we use [get , here I meant got but I write get as public form ^^"] in fifth example for passive form ?
Now I understand .

I was married=I got married. It is passive form.

This sentence helped me ^^
