1.to get on : (to enter, board)
說明：to get on(搭乘，上車) 動詞get的用法很多，常常在后面接用各種不同的介系詞或副詞而形成意義不同的習語。這里的on是介系詞，后面的bus和subway用作它的受詞。如果on作副詞用，則有進步，相處甚好，與年事已長的意思。

I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (應用put on). In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (應用wear).dress的意思是
①put clothes on后面的受詞一定是人，如dress a child, dress oneself, be dressed in white,

(1) Mary put on her hat and left the room.
