Daily life
get round to doing something
finally do something delayed
To finally do something after delaying it or being too busy to do it earlier.
Hear it in real life
Did you email the landlord?
Not yet, but I'll get round to it tonight.
I finally got round to cleaning out the kitchen cupboards.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: get round to do something
Say: get round to doing something
Here “to” is a preposition, so it is followed by the -ing form.
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
get round to doing something; got round to doing something
Your turn: say it out loud
I finally got round to cleaning out the kitchen cupboards.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
get round to doing something
finally do something delayed
“I finally got round to cleaning out the kitchen cupboards.”
