Vanessa teaches “get along with” as a way to talk about people who enjoy spending time together, have things in common, or have a friendly relationship. The expression works in statements, negative sentences, and questions. In a positive statement, a speaker can say, “I get along with my sister” or “I get along with my coworkers.” The person or people are introduced after with.
To describe a difficult relationship, use do not or don’t before get: “I don’t get along with my boss.” The expression can suggest tension or stress, but it does not explain the reason by itself. Speakers can add a brief explanation if they want to give more context.
Vanessa also shows two question patterns. “Who do you get along with?” asks about the other person or people in someone’s life. “Do you get along?” asks whether two people have a good relationship, when the people are already clear from context. With a group, speakers may say “Do you guys get along?” or “Do you all get along?”; “Do you both get along?” refers to two people. The subject and situation determine which question is appropriate.
The lesson encourages learners not only to understand the phrase but to use it in speech. A learner can name a family member, friend, or coworker they have a good relationship with, or describe a relationship that is difficult. They can also practise asking someone else about a group relationship. The phrase is conversational and usually neutral, though saying “I don’t get along with…” can sound personal or critical.

The practical takeaway is to remember the preposition with and choose the correct question structure for whether you are asking who, or whether two or more people have a good relationship.
