I get good gifts", "I'm getting you to tell me!", "I got to cry" just explain the different contexts I would suggest that each of these sentences would use a different verb, Spanish has great verbs that are better than the English ones (to my way of thinking) because they are more specific... I get good gifts - Recibo regalos buenos. I'm getting you to tell me! Estoy consiguiendo que me lo diga. I got to cry. (not sure what you mean there, do you mean you have to cry or ...?) Can someone check the Spanish for me please? Not positive!!!
