Can any one answer my questions?
Hi, I don't know whether the two words "catch or stuck" is the right choice here or not, but I want to say :My leg catched by the table and I fell down to the ground by face.
If I'm wrong please re-write the correct form of the above sentence.
Also is it grammatically correct to say : If I'm not mistaken ? Or should we say "If I don't make a mistake" what is the difference in meaning ? Which of them can be use in the present tense ?I mean the moment of speaking
Also I want to know where should we use the word "get" ? Specially in this case "let's get started" why can't we say simply "let's start" what's the usage of the word "get" and also why we add "ed" in the end of the word "start"?
Thank you so much

The correct way to say it is: "My leg GOT CAUGHT on the table and I fell ON MY FACE." You can also say it a little differently: "I CAUGHT my leg on the table and fell on my face." We don't usually mention "the ground" in this context. Oh, and you can also say "I GOT my leg CAUGHT on the table and fell on my face." Lots of options)))
Also, we say "if I'm not mistaken."
LET'S START is a very neutral way to say this. LET'S GET STARTED! just sounds a little more enthusiastic.

The table doesn't catch your leg. (Caught is the correct word to use if it's in the past, I caught the ball)
You can say:
I accidentally hit the table and fell to the ground face first.
OR
I hit the ground face first and then I was stuck under the table.
The correct form is "If I'm not mistaken" (I personally say it all the time)
There's no difference between Let's get started & lets start.

START UP is very common in the phrase "start up a conversation (with someone)."

@Giovanni, There's no diffierence between lets get start and let's start.
Start up is a term used for new tech companies, as a verb it can used for ENGINES. start up the car engine please (That's how to properly use "start up").
