Why do we say "I get excited" and not "I get excite"? Is "get" a form of auxiliary verb that is paired with a past participle and present participle verb only? Can someone clarify this for me? Also, when we use "if I were a billionaire, I would buy an island" Why is that "were" is used and it is in past tense and not something like "If I am rich, I would buy an island"?
