gets punished/punishment

[gauri_agr]

Hi

Which one is correct get punished or gets punishment. Get is a verb so I can use either a verb or an noun after a gets? So I feel the gets punishment is also correct. I am always confused in general what to use after make, get etc.

Thanks

You could say, "third person singular gets punishment" in the right context. Both "get punished" and "gets punishment" are possible.
