Without some sample sentences to help us out, you'll see that these phrases have various meanings.
get to = tener la oportunidad (to have the opportunity), dejar (to allow) I get to go on vacation tomorrow! get to = llegar a algún sitio (to arrive at some place) How do I get to Rome? get to = mandato (command) get to bed (acuéstate) come to = venir/ir a alguien o a un lugar (to come to someone or some place) Come to me. Come to my house tomorrow. come to = volver en sí (regain consciousness) He came to after a couple of minutes of CPR. grow to = crecer a cierta medida, crecer de estatura (to grow to a certain height) The plant grew to 2 inches tall practically overnight. Edit: I see that Bob and I overlapped. |

Thank you everyone for your replies.
First, please answer me in English ![]() ![]() Second, what about the following sentences? 1-I got to realize it more when I grew older. 2-I got to know him. 3-You‘ll get to speak English more easily as time goes by. 3-Wayne’s getting to be a lovely kid. 4-I grew to dislike working for the cinema. 5-He grew to accept his stepmother and she hoped that one day he would grow to love her. 6-I slowly came to realize that she knew was she was doing. 7-we will come to regret your decision. Regards. Last edited by majidkh; May 09, 2009 at 12:23 PM. |

I wonder if there is any difference between the three phrases in the above sentences?
or in occasions like the following, Is there any difference between them and when each is used? Grow to: know,accept,love,realize.... Get to: know,accept,love,realize.... Come to: know,accept,love,realize.... Regards Last edited by majidkh; May 10, 2009 at 03:39 AM. |

But here is it at its basic
Grow to - (changing over time to do something, "I did not like movies before, but now I have grown to love them" Get to - (having the ability to do something, "I get to love someone" Come to - (arriving at somewhere, whether it be an idea, or place) "I have come to Spain" ---------------- Grow to , is something that happens over time, such as You have grown to love movies The tree has grown to 5 feet tall We don't usually use grow to like ( One would say , ( I have come to realize I like movies) While get to can be used like this (You will get to know me well) Its sort of hard to tell you when and not to use these and I see why it can be confusing, it really depends on the context ------------------- hope that helps
