Grammar Point: The Past Simple tense (irregular verb) describes a completed past action — here, "got" (base form: "get").

Structure: Subject + got + detail (e.g., I got up at dawn).

Usage Tip: Irregular verbs don't follow the "-ed" rule, so memorize common ones like "get → got". Here it's followed by "up at dawn" to add detail.
