When someone says, “Get real“, they are asking the other person to be realistic, or to understand and accept the reality of a situation. It’s like saying “Be realistic” or “Face the facts.”
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
When John said he would finish the entire project in one night, his sister responded, “Get real, John. It’s a big project and will take more than a night to complete.”
Example 2:
When Sarah said she could eat the entire cake, her friend told her to “Get real. It’s a big cake, and you’ll get a stomachache.”
Now, let’s see two examples in a conversation:
Example 3:
Mike: Emma, I think I can become a professional basketball player in a year.
Emma: Mike, you need to get real. Becoming a professional athlete takes a lot of time and training.
Example 4:
Lisa: Sarah, I think I can read all these books in a week.
Sarah: Lisa, you have to get real. There are too many books here. Why don’t you try reading a few first?
So, when you say, “Get real,” you’re asking someone to be more realistic and to understand the true nature of the situation. It’s a phrase that encourages people to face the truth or reality of a situation.
