The informal passive with get, and its register limits.
Why you specifically
The rule
The get passive is formed with get + past participle: got injured, got broken, got promoted. It is common in informal spoken and written English, especially when the subject experiences an event or a change of state. It often sounds more personal or dynamic than the be passive. In many formal contexts, especially reports, academic writing, and official English, be passive is usually preferred.
The trap
He got injured by the game.
He got injured in the game.
Got passive is common in informal English for events that happen to someone, especially accidents or negative results.
The window got break during the storm.

She got promoted last month.
