Does the expression "to get oneself into doing something" make sense in English?
If so, would you please give me some examples?
Thank you.
When speaking informally, people might say that they "get into" something, meaning to take an interest in that thing, e.g. get into swimming, get into languages, etc. I would not expect to see oneself/myself etc as you have shown.
I got myself into therapy after my son died.
@PUNKEY,
What about "to get oneself into trouble"?
Thanks again for your kind help.
@paok1970,
Yes. But that was not what you asked in your original posting. (Doing something)
I had encouraged you to find a good dictionary and study the word " get" since so many of your questions ask about application of this multi- faceted word.
I got myself into some dry clothes after falling into the river.
