get/getting a movie

Akane and I were thinking of getting a movie tonight.

When you 'get a movie,' it means that you rent it and watch it at home. Notice the following:

1. Where is the closest place to get a movie around here.
   
2. I would rather get a movie than go to the cinema.
   

fill in some forms or do my forms

Although I tried to do my forms today, I didn't get them done, so I've got to fill in some forms tonight.

If you 'do forms' or 'fill in forms,' it means that you complete them with the information they ask for. Notice the following:

1. Getting your driver's license is really easy here. All you have to do is fill in some forms.
   
2. You should try to do your tax forms this weekend.
   

get some money together

I'm going to law school in September, so I've got to get some money together.

You 'get some money together' when you gather it for a specific purpose. Notice the following:

1. His whole family is trying to get some money together to send him to medical school.
   
2. We are trying to get some money together for a vacation this year.
   

rather

I'm going to church tomorrow, so I'd rather get some done tonight.

You can use the word 'rather' to say what you would prefer to do. Notice the following:

1. Would you rather have tea or coffee.
   
2. I'd rather eat something healthy for lunch than eat fast food.
   

can't stand it

I can't stand Star Wars, except that I do like Ewan McGregor.

If you 'can't stand' something, it means you don't like it. Notice the following:

1. He can't stand country music.
   
2. Some people can't stand broccoli.
