Hi Vireak! It is not "wrong," but "get" is very informal. If you are writing to a client or manager, using words like "receive" or "obtain" instantly makes you sound much more professional! mail

Great question! Phrasal verbs (like 'look into') are conversational. Single verbs (like 'investigate'), which often come from Latin or French origins, sound much more academic and precise in English! menu_book

Can I use "Furthermore" when I am just talking to my friends?

You can, but it will sound very weird and too serious! In daily conversation with friends, it is much more natural to just say "Also" or "Plus". Save "Furthermore" for your essays and formal presentations. record_voice_over
