Hi,
I hear the phrase "Let's get started" all the time and I'm pretty sure it means "Let's start". Does the verb "get" in this context have a meaning of "become" (Let's become started)? Similarly to "Let's get ready" = "Let's become ready"? Or it has a meaning of "be"? "Let's get started" = "Let's be started?" I know that the difference might be very subtle, but I'd like to figure it out.
Thank you
