Butterfly 55 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sorry. ' to be getting on' comes from the phrasale verb ' to get on', as like in 'When can we get on with this than.' make further or carry on. Though, 'He seems to be getting on with his home work.' sounds a bit strange to me - passive voice of the infinitive? Thanks in advance. Photos Link to comment
Head Tutor Minoo Posted December 20, 2018 Head Tutor Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 'get on' also has a sense of 'progressing with something'. That's what the idea is here: He seems to be making progress in doing his homework. Butterfly 55 1 Link to comment
