You can use forms of GET + adjective to show a change of state or becoming.
For example:
1. I am getting old.
2. It's getting hotter.
3. By the time they reached the house they were getting hungry.
4. I'm getting tired of all this nonsense.
5. My mother's getting old and needs looking after.
6. It gets dark very early in the winter.
7. Don't touch the stove until it gets cool.
When you use GET in any tense to mean "receive" then it is a little simpler.
1. I get a lot of questions about grammar.
2. I got some advice from my teacher.
3. We are getting a puppy tomorrow.
4. She will get a raise for her English ability.
etc.
(Not sure why my formatting in this answer is so terrible!)

Get is a tricky word to explain :(
You use get whenever you gain or acquire anything... It can be abstract (non-physical) or physical.
For an abstract example -> You can get an idea.
For a physical example-> You can get a dog.
Get can be thought about as a change from NOT HAVING something to HAVING something.
I hope this helped! :)
