Ciao Salvatore If you are confused about expressions like 'We got lost', it might be helpful to remember that sometimes the English construction 'get + past participle' corresponds to a reflexive verb in Italian. For example: get lost = perdersi get dressed = vestirsi get tired = stancarsi In these cases, 'get' means more or less 'to become'. I hope that helps. Please ask again if there's anything else that's not clear.

"We got lost while looking for a restaurant" uses pretty much the standard phrase for this situation so you would be unlikely to exchange it for anything else. "We were lost.." doesn't really convey the same meaning. "My wife asked me to bring some bread" is fine. The second sentence doesn't mean the same thing. "What is the best way to go to the cinema?" and "What is the best way to reach the cinema?"are both fine.
