Anonymous  +  522096 Mon, 02 Jun 08 05:26 PM Hi, Tom visits Ann and gives her divorce papers. Ann makes up an excuse and can’t sign the papers right now but she will try to get to them to him later. What  does 'get to' mean in the context? Thanks! Anonymous

I don't think I'll get to that project today, but I'll start on it tomorrow.   Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
