We use the get passive especially in informal speaking.
When we use the get passive, we also place a little more
emphasis on the nature of the action itself or on the person
involved in the action:
The trees in the garden were damaged in the wind. (standard
passive)
The trees in the garden got damaged in the
wind. (get passive)
We sometimes use a reflexive pronoun with the get passive.
This suggests the subject was at least partly responsible for
the event or made it happen:
He got injured while playing football. (It was an accident)
He got himself injured while trying bike stunts. (It was partly
his fault)
get dressed get washed get engaged
get married get divorced get lost
get mixed up get started
 I took a shower and got dressed.
 When did they get married?
 Have you ever got lost while travelling?
