To get + adjective/a verb+ed

[Sim]

Hi,

I can't understand this grammatical form.
Take a look at these sentences:

- I'm dressing
- I'm getting dressed.

- I get angry with her.
- I am angry with her.

I can't notice any differences. I learn english nearly 2 years, I read and hear this form every day and I don't know why there is a verb get. Help me please because I'm tired of it/I'm getting tired of it.

Hi Sim,
don't take it as something for sure I am pretty poor with English but it is for me slight diffrence.
I will say like I am dressing up or I am dressing down.
or I am dressing a salad with something...
I am getting dressed is something like I become dressed
or ... maybe not? Teacher help!
- I'm dressing
- I'm getting dressed.

Here is as well something new for me because I remeber
to read that talking about "angry at a person" is a mistake
but I use it almost everyday and hear it as well.
Is it not the same that before with "become as a process" or "being angry as a fact right now" ??

- I get angry with her.
- I am angry with her

I don't know about
get + adjective/a verb + ed
nice to read about any explanation

"Angry at a person" is absolutely the correct way to say it. What did they tell you was correct?[/quote]

Hi,

I like my dictionary.(Collins) It is pretty cheap (positive way) but sometimes I had something to think about and so and so all use angry at a person , or angry with a person I mean all native
and they also tell that this is correct way?
thanks
